She is a content creator with over 100,000 followers in the legal space, the founder of two businesses, and a frequent keynote speaker & presenter on a range of topics within legal and beyond.
Chrissie spent the first 7 years of her career at Irwin Mitchell LLP as a trainee and then a qualified solicitor in the International Serious Injury litigation team. She specialised in a wide variety of catastrophic injury cases including brain injury, spinal injury, group actions, and fatal cases and ultimately specialising in claims arising out of cosmetic surgery procedures. She has won multiple awards including Solicitor of The Year 2019 at the Birmingham Law Society Awards and Highly Commended Junior Lawyer of the Year 2018 & 2019 at The Law Society’s Excellence Awards.
In 2017, she founded Law and Broader. The intention was to improve accessibility to the profession by providing support and guidance to aspiring lawyers who were struggling to break through the training contract barrier, as she did, and share some of the things that she had learned from her own challenges and setbacks in the process. It started life as a YouTube channel and quickly spread across Instagram, Linkedin Twitter, and Tik Tok with followers now reaching over 100,000 across platforms.
In 2021 she founded LAB Consultancy, under which she consults for a variety of law firms, legal teams, and businesses including the Digital Legal Exchange on matters ranging from strategic and operational support to culture and attraction and retention of talent.
