These are difficult times, but we need not feel powerless. Law firms can do a lot to help their communities when they need them most – we are all in this together.

We are joined by Olga Ivannikova, the Founder of Private Goodness, a London-based Corporate Responsibility and Inclusion consultancy. Olga has more than 10 years of experience of CSR and community organising. She has worked with many leading law firms on their pro bono and has previously spoke about access to justice in the House of Lords and the Royal Courts of Justice.

Olga has allocated 2 hours every day to speak to companies about their community response to this pandemic (without charge) and has many resources that she and her team update daily to share with the legal community.

During this special episode we talk about leading with compassion. We cover many ideas on how law firms and individuals can be of help, including:

• Supporting isolated people
• Assisting those most affected by the economic breakdown
• Spreading awareness and supporting mental health
• Encouraging people to utilise their skills to help others
• Social responsibility - how we treat others and advancing relationships
