Many people still see Gen Z as “lazy” or “entitled.”

What if the generation everyone underestimates is actually the one reshaping the future of law?

In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Thomas, Legal Business Analyst at Perkins Coie. From Oxford University to Tesco, and now helping launch the London office of a US law firm, her journey proves there’s no single path into law.

We talk about how Gen Z challenges hierarchy, embraces efficiency, and collaborates differently and why those skills might be exactly what the legal industry needs. Natalie also shares her unconventional route into law, the importance of mentorship and social mobility, and why diversity isn’t just nice-to-have, but a business imperative.

If you’ve ever wondered how the next generation will transform law firms, this conversation is the answer.
