Taking pride in your story: Lara Fatemi on aiming high and trailblazing

Stories shape how we see what’s possible – especially when it comes to careers in law. On this years Social Mobility Day, Milly Brown is joined by Lara Fatemi, a newly promoted employment partner and founder of OC’s Social Mobility Network, to talk about her journey from a state school in South Wales to becoming a partner at Osborne Clarke. They discuss what it’s like not to “fit the mould” and why social mobility and diverse backgrounds benefits everyone.

What is Law Beyond Limits with Osborne Clarke?

Hosted by Osborne Clarke trainees and solicitor apprentices, Law Beyond Limits shares candid conversations with OC lawyers about their routes into the legal profession. Guests reflect on career highlights and hiccups, the realities of progression, and lessons learned. At its heart is social mobility: what it means, why it matters, and how we can support people from diverse backgrounds by removing barriers.
