Case Study: Pallas Partners LLP
Natasha Harrison, Founding and Managing Partner of Pallas Partners LLP, has set up the firm with
an ethos that aligns closely with The Brokerage’s Changemaker work. Natasha was keen to work with
us on our guided reverse mentoring programme and was matched with Michaela, one of our Young
Leaders.
I recently had the privilege of being mentored by Michaela, an inspiring woman, in the second year of her Law
degree at University of Warwick. Her journey is inspiring. She has faced many challenges and I was struck by
her resilience and determination. She provided invaluable insights into the barriers facing young people from
diverse backgrounds alongside help and advice on how firms can attract, recruit, and retain people from
underrepresented groups.
We discussed improving processes around recruitment, as well as ways to foster a culture of inclusion and
retain underrepresented employees. Working with Michaela has enabled me to look at many issues through an
entirely new and different lens.
This programme was undoubtedly one of the most important exercises that I have undertaken in my career
and I strongly encourage others in law and other professional industries to participate. I learned an invaluable
amount from our time together and the team at Pallas Partners LLP and I look forward to working with The
Brokerage on other programmes in the future.
