My guest today is Dana Denis-Smith, who has been awarded an OBE, which is a recognition of an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. It’s a prestigious British honour and is the second-highest rank in the Order of the British Empire.

Dana is a prominent legal sector leader, serving as CEO of Obelisk Support and founder of the First 100 Years campaign.

Dana founded Obelisk Support in 2010, providing flexible legal solutions for clients.

The First 100 Years campaign, launched in 2014, led the celebrations surrounding the centenary of women in law and has now evolved into Next 100 Years.

Dana is widely respected for her advocacy in gender equality, entrepreneurship and legal technology.

Recognised with numerous awards and honours, including an OBE for services to women in law (2024).

She was elected Deputy Vice President of the Law Society of England and Wales in 2025 and is very likely to become President in 2027.

Dana also serves on the Law Society Council, representing women solicitors and advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion.

She is also a TEDx and keynote speaker, described as a “voice of reason” on law sector topics.
