Having previously served as a nurse and having grown up with neurodivergent family members, Libby Thomas believes there is much more that legal employers can do to better support lawyers with idiosyncratic needs – particularly those coming through the ranks.
In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Travis Schultz & Partners associate Libby Thomas about her previous career in nursing, how and why she became a personal injury lawyer, her family’s experiences with neurodivergence and how it has informed her views on workplaces’ support or otherwise, and the stigma that still surrounds such conditions.
Thomas also delves into the impact of stigma upon neurodivergent people, how her firm is supporting all staff, what other law firm owners need to be asking of themselves and their businesses, practical steps to be taken, the business case for support neurodivergent workers, and why she thinks the legal profession still has a long way to go.
