Legally Speaking Podcast · Patrick McCann: Authentic Leadership, Social Mobility & Building the Law Firm of the Future - S10E27 · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

No.

Thank you.

I'm a huge fan of your work and I'm delighted we've been able to make this discussion work.

Uh but before we get into the the meat and potatoes, if you like, we have a couple of quick fire fun icebreaker questions.

Firstly, what's your favorite beverage and your preferred choice of footwear on a typical work day?

Love it.

And I won't tell your husband, but just in case some of the listeners that may know your husband will connect to the show, that could potentially get leaked.

So I'm putting my disclaimer in there just quietly.

Nope, and we're gonna move swiftly on to another quick fire question.

One piece of legal tech or everyday technology you now rely on that you thought would have been unthinkable at the start of your career?

Yeah, no, r really good points.

And good to shout out Helen as well.

Big fan of Helen and she's a fan of the show.

So uh hi Helen.

Well, Patrick, let's start the short version of your journey, beginning of your career, obviously.

Burdenbirds, becoming chief executive now of where you sit today of City of Law, London society.

Tell us a bit about your journey.

And that's why we're so keen to have the conversation 'cause you've got such a wealth of experience and knowledge from so many different environments and you know, you've had many years leading on the sort of learning development side in terms of programmes at some of the world's best law firms, as you actually mentioned.

What first attracted you to that people development side of the profession and what did you learn from working with generations of lawyers throughout your career?

Yeah, and absolutely I'm sure you get a lot of intrinsic value from that as well, particularly people who perhaps are in that funk and through your work and actually helping them get out the other side of that, I think is a really nice feeling, obviously good work that's been done.
