Simon Ridpath features in The Lawyer's words of career wisdom roundup

Last year, Managing Partner, Simon Ridpath, featured in The Lawyer’s Hot 100 list.

The prestigious list from leading UK legal magazine, The Lawyer, celebrates trailblazing lawyers from across the entire profession in the UK – private practice, in-house and the Bar.

As part of the Hot 100 career quiz, Simon was asked: What advice would you give to someone who wants to get to where you are/do the job you do?

He responds:

"You need to care about what you do and who you act for. That care needs to be demonstrable and genuine. To listen, think and advise at the pace required in an ever-quickening world requires energy and enthusiasm..."

Ahead of this year's release, The Lawyer, asked those featured in 2022 for the best piece of career advice they’d every received. 

Watch Simon's response here.
