Ms Saad also reflects on wanting people to talk more about their mental health struggles and having her label champion such conversations, how law students and young lawyers have responded to her label, how her legal employer has embraced her work, how she manages her time and the juggle, what she has learnt in the course of being a business owner and young lawyer simultaneously, what advice she has for emerging legal professionals about broadening one’s skill set, and why they should be unafraid to pursue their passions.
