Saadia Bhatty, Gide

Just before the summer sun sets on the Thames, I found myself traveling to one of London’s many looming skyscrapers to hear the tale of one Saadia Bhatty.  A one-time aspiring International Relations professional turned lawyer with the Gide Loyrette Nouel law firm in #London. 

Saadia tells a tale about earning her stripes as a lawyer, while simultaneously advocating and championing causes that close to her heart.  Greater awareness of the burgeoning talent pool in Pakistan and the need for greater gender #diversity in the world of international #ADR.
