Join Justin Farrance, A&O’s DE&I Ambassador, as he interviews colleagues from across A&O, as well as clients and alumni about their personal stories, commitment on DE&I and advice for others to learn from.

In this episode, partner, Will Samengo–Turner and guest Precious Oyelade talk to Justin about their journey and in particular, the firm’s collaboration with Google as part of the Black Founders Fund.
