Sara Carnegie works at the International Bar Association as Director of Legal Projects. She is an experienced barrister who has spent 20 years in the criminal justice system and in the public sector.

We exchange ideas about mental wellbeing in the legal profession, modern-day slavery, and gender inclusivity.
