In its recent feature, Legal Business “spoke to the female founders behind a cluster of high‑performing specialist firms,” spotlighting leaders such as our Managing Partner, Mary‑Ann Wright:
“IWD 2026: Meet the female founders behind some of the UK’s top legal boutiques.”
In the article which marked International Women’s Day 2026, Mary-Ann reflects on the motivations that led her to found Manders Law and the freedom it gave her to shape a firm that reflects her values.
Establishing Manders Law allowed Mary-Ann to build a practice defined by authenticity and a culture she truly believed in.
While the article explores how the narrative for women in law has evolved and the challenges many female founders faced in earlier decades, Mary-Ann highlights the strength and cohesion of the Manders Law team.
One standout aspect of the feature is the discussion of Manders Law’s all-women team, something Mary-Ann notes was never intentional, but has become a defining strength.
