In this week’s episode of Bricks & Mortar, EG’s Sarah Jackman sits down with Nicky Richmond, ex-finance lawyer and former managing partner of specialist real estate legal firm Brecher, for the second instalment of their careers trilogy.

They discuss early career development and cover a range of subjects including building confidence in the workplace, dealing with difficult situations and understanding your core values. Richmond also sets out why “imposter syndrome” should be banned from a young professional’s vocabulary, as well as offering plenty of other insights drawn from her expansive career in the sector.

Richmond will return for the final part – accelerating your career – in a fortnight.
