Lawyer Monthly - Women In Law Special Edition

30 LAWYER MONTHLY WOMEN IN LAW EDITION MEET ALEXANDRA MARKS THE LIFE AS A JUDGE… Being amongst the hubbub at the Women in Law Conference last September, you could almost see the waves of inspiration flowing in the air. And midst the well established legal experts and fresh-faced, newly qualified lawyers, we met Alexandra Marks, who had set out to educate solicitors so that they could, one day, consider taking the path of becoming a judge, just like she had chosen to do over 15 years ago. From being a Partner at Linklaters LLP, to a Recorder and a Deputy High Court Judge and an Adjudicator for the Solicitors Regulation Authority, Alexandra found herself at the bottom of the career ladder all over again, when she decided to become a Judge, after her very successful career as Partner. From the uprise of diversity and inclusion in the legal sphere, to taking on challenges which you may be apprehensive to embrace, we had the pleasure of meetingAlexandra and learning more about her experience and little nuggets of advice she had to offer.
