Show Notes

This week on the Legally Speaking Podcast, our host Robert Hanna is joined by Vanessa Challess.

Vanessa is the Founder and Director of Tiger Law. She's also the Founder of Tiger HR and Tiger Bytez. The firm was founded on the principles of prioritising clients' interests, championing diversity and inclusion, and forcing the legal profession to embrace the future. 

Based in Kent, the firm covers a range of practice areas; including company law, property law, family law and IP work. She set up the innovative firm after being made redundant from her previous role (whilst pregnant with her third child and being the sole breadwinner in her family!). 

In this episode, we cover:

  • Vanessa's unique transnational upbringing, and the story behind Tiger Law's inception
  • The legal and operational need-to-knows of starting your own firm in 2021
  • How she grew the business, and how they've pivoted to cope with COVID-19 linked disruption
  • Why the firm has embraced legal technology, but has not embraced the billable hour!
