As the Australian managing partner of global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, Alison Deitz is open about some of the experiences she’s had juggling parenting with work.

She sees storytelling as an opportunity to share lived experiences and empathise with staff who are currently experiencing similar challenges in managing a family, in whatever shape or form that comes.

Alison speaks particularly about the early days, when she was one of the first partners to take parental leave and return to work part time – a rarity 17 years ago when she had her daughter.
