Today's Video Focus: Why should my law firm support trans employees? Rachel Reese and Daniel Winterfeldt discuss why law firms should support trans employees.
Focus of the Day Article:

Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) said in a recent ruling that it
accepted the SRA’s arguments that section 43 orders could not be used
against non-lawyer managers of ABSs.
