Often, they’re nervous about what lies ahead, unsure of what’s “normal,” and worried about what others may think. These are all normal responses that people have when faced uncertainty and tumult. During times like these, it's not uncommon for people to feel like they’re alone in their own sea of troubles.

We are privileged to work alongside exceptional women who lead, inspire, and shape the legal profession with dedication and passion. This International Women’s Day, we shine a spotlight on Senior Associate Sarah Rodrigues—a powerhouse in family law, a champion for women in sport, and a devoted mum.
