Henrietta Ronson, Partner at Corker Binning, has been interviewed by Stylist Magazine, alongside other women in high-flying careers, about the reality of life as a criminal lawyer. Henrietta reflects candidly on training in what was a male-dominated profession and how the legal industry is embracing flexibility, describing Corker Binning’s culture as “progressive” with the partnership comprised of more women than men. She also talks about the “unglamorous, unpredictable side of criminal defence” and balancing a demanding practice with raising two young children.
Finally, Henrietta shares hard-won advice for women in the profession: build a reputation for reliability and sound judgment, stay visible, don’t take no for an answer, and don’t be afraid to put yourself forward for opportunities. “At its core, criminal defence is about helping people through very real, often terrible situations,” she says. “The direct impact on people’s lives maintains my commitment to the job.”
