Nazir Afzal OBE joins Shoosmiths' Head of Client Strategy Tony Randle for a discussion focused on diversity and inclusion.
In this episode, Nazir explains how taking a tick-box attitude to diversity and inclusion doesn’t work and what businesses can do to effect real change in this area.
Nazir is a lawyer and former Chief Crown Prosecutor for the North West. While at the Crown Prosecution Service, he was responsible for more than 100,000 prosecutions each year and prosecuted some of the most high-profile cases in the country.
He was the first Muslim to be to be appointed as a Chief Crown Prosecutor and has been called the 'champion of the ignored' by The Sunday Times. The Times calls him 'forensically intelligent' and an 'inspiring figure'.
His memoir, The Prosecutor, is being adapted for the screen and his latest book, The Race to the Top: Structural Racism and How to Fight It, was published late last year. It’s a compelling must-read for those who want to understand the scale of inequality which still affects UK plc.
The Business in the Digital Age podcast features interviews with changemakers, mould-breakers, future leaders and other leading figures, who show us what matters in the digital age, and accompanies the book 'Legal Practice in the Digital Age'.
Written by David Jackson, Paul Caddy and Tony Randle, the book contains the hard-won insights lawyers and firms need to survive and thrive in the complex, post-pandemic age.
