Welcome to the first in a series of 20 podcasts on the legal profession in 2011. I’m going to look at the changing legal landscape in the light of the impact of The Legal Services Act and current trading conditions through the eyes of practitioners at the bar and from law firms large and small , commentators and regulators.
Today I am talking to The Naked Lawyer… or, to be more accurate, Chrissie Lightfoot, a non-practising solicitor and author of The Naked Lawyer…… a great woman to do business with” – according to Jules Wyman., recently voted Britain’s top woman coach and owner of Positive Belief.
To give you a flavour of The Naked Lawyer… a few quotes from the many reviews Chrissie has received….

Paul Brennan. Commercial Lawyer. Australia.
“…it’s practical, funny, inspirational and down-to-earth…”
Steve Kuncewicz. Intellectual Property, Media & Entertainment Lawyer. UK.
“…simply a MUST read for the student who is considering a career in the law… to the senior partner who is trying to run a business in 2010 and beyond.”
Jim Diamond. Costs Lawyer. UK.
