Balancing the Bar and Home: Jayne Drake Shares Her Insight in Nikki Alderson’s Counsel Magazine Feature

In a recent Counsel magazine piece authored by Nikki Alderson, our Senior Clerk, Jayne Drake, offers valuable insight into the realities of balancing a demanding career at the Bar with caring responsibilities at home. The article, part of a wider “Parenting Special,” explores practical solutions to the pressure-points many practitioners face and highlights the vital role clerks and chambers play in supporting sustainable practice.

Jayne’s contribution sheds important light on how thoughtful diary management, open communication, and realistic planning can make the difference between surviving and thriving as a working parent at the Bar.
