    What an incredible event! We were thrilled to see our logo on the big screen in Leicester Square this week, supporting the Balance the Board conference. Leaders from hospitality, travel, leisure, retail, and consumer sectors came together to share insights and discuss the common goal of building more inclusive, balanced boards. Diverse boards drive better decision-making, stronger performance, and greater organizational resilience. But true inclusion demands more than just good intentions—it takes bold action, unwavering commitment, and the courage to challenge the status quo. A huge thank you to Holly Addison and Emma Causer for hosting such an inspiring event. At Leathwaite, we’re proud to continue fostering courageous conversations and driving real change with our clients.

    Interim leaders are often hired during periods of transition, crisis, cost management, or rapid growth. But we see the value of interim leaders going beyond reactive solutions - proactively addressing underperformance, driving cultural transformations, and providing critical guidance during leadership transitions. What factors make you lean towards permanent vs. interim leadership solutions? And are you confident that those are the right considerations?

    Partner, Global Practice Lead: Legal & Corporate Governance at Leathwaite: Executive Search & Leadership Talent

    Last week we were invited to join the Eagle Club in a discussion around the interim legal market. Fantastic discussion with fantastic individuals. Many thanks to Lesley Wan for the invitation. Are interim legal hires the General Counsel’s secret weapon? With a continued focus on cost and permanent recruitment taking longer; contract recruitment has arguably become the darling of the in-house legal market. From analysing the shift towards fixed-term contracts over day-rates, the rising norm of a contract completion bonus and looking at the expansion of the alternative legal services providers, there has been a positive shift in the perception and value of interim legal professionals. Its been a busy interim market at Leathwaite with Kersty Bletso and Mary Driscoll on board. #interimlegal #generalcounsel #leathwaiteinterim
