“I Want to Be a Role Model, to Fly the Flag for Women” — Jo Wescott in The Times
Jo Wescott, Managing Partner at Osbornes Law, has been profiled by The Times following her appointment as the first woman to hold the role in the firm’s history.
In the feature, Jo speaks candidly about what it means to lead one of London’s most respected law firms — and why she sees her position as an opportunity to drive meaningful change for women across the legal profession.
Jo discusses the barriers that persist for women in senior legal roles, the importance of visible female leadership, and her personal mission to create a workplace where women can thrive and progress to the highest levels. She also reflects on her own career journey and the experiences that shaped her approach to leadership.
The profile forms part of The Times’ broader coverage of women breaking new ground in traditionally male-dominated industries.
