Segun Osuntokun: “Having people with different viewpoints and backgrounds makes for a much more interesting place”

Segun Osuntokun is the Global Senior Partner at international law firm, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLP). He is also the head of the firm's civil fraud litigation practice.In this episode, Segun takes us right back to his childhood growing up in the second biggest city in Nigeria, home to the country’s first university. And he explains what first gripped him about the idea of going into the legal profession.Reflecting on what social mobility means to him, Segun explores the psychology of the human condition - why we continue to create structures that disadvantage certain people, and how to break them down. Segun also imagines an education system that brings out the best in people, rather than widening divides. And he discusses what BCLP is doing to disrupt the lack of social mobility in the legal sector. Your host is Tunde Banjoko OBE, founder of Making The Leap.
