Our latest guest is a real visionary. As Principal of Onyx Online Law, Jeanette Jifkins pioneered digital legal advice and remote working long before COVID made it fashionable. Onyx Online Law is a boutique firm specialising in commercial and corporate law with a focus on businesses in the digital space.
Jeanette tells us how Onyx has grown in the last few years, and how she’s shaken up the board of a not-for-profit organisation she is now chair of. She also gave a great insight into how she managed to start her high-flying career as a new mother. It really is a heartwarming tale of hard work and discipline combined with great support from her family.
Jeanette is a very well-balanced leader. She calls a spade a spade but also understands the wider human meaning of what we’re all doing. This is a conversation well worth listening to.
