More about our podcast guests:
David is an Executive in the Alternative Legal Service Team at Herbert Smith Freehills. He received an ADHD diagnosis earlier this year, after attending an ADHD Lunch 'n' Learn with Jodie Hill, and subsequently engaging in various discussions about how many of the traits he presented, as well as the prevalence of ADHD in his immediate family (5 of his 9 first cousins also have ADHD). Following his diagnosis, David has started taking a stimulant medication which he has found to be extremely helpful, and has also been on a journey of self and peer education on what ADHD actually looks like in practice.
Francesca is a Director at Montresor Legal and has worked in the recruitment industry for 18 years. She heads up Montresor's Business Services and Paralegal division, placing candidates across both permanent and temporary markets.
