She explains what competition and consumer law involve, how her interests developed at university, and the key differences between working in private practice, at a regulator, and in-house. Neha also discusses founding Superwomen of Colour to support and connect women of colour across law and regulation. The organisation spotlights role models and runs quarterly “Coffee Connects” mutual mentoring, panel events featuring women of colour speakers, and an annual networking event. At the end of the episode, Neha closes with advice for aspiring lawyers on purpose, skills development, and resilience.</p><p><br></p><p>00:14 Neha’s Career Journey</p><p>04:48 Why Competition Law</p><p>07:16 Choosing a Specialism</p><p>09:31 Firm vs Regulator vs In-house</p><p>16:42 Life at Slaughter and May</p><p>21:24 Working at the CMA</p><p>26:32 In-house at Sainsbury’s</p><p>29:45 Superwomen of Colour Mission</p><p>34:05 Launching the Community</p><p>36:32 Advice for Aspiring Lawyers</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://superwomenofcolour.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Superwomen of Colour</a></p><p><br></p><p>This episode is sponsored by<a href=\"https://lawpods.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> LawPods</a>, a podcast marketing agency that services some of the biggest brands in law.</p><p><br></p><p>Enjoying Law Talks?
