There’s never just an employment law answer

With more than a decade of in-house experience across multiple jurisdictions, Liz Williamson has built a truly international employment law career. Now at Swedish-Swiss technology company ABB, she shares how fostering workplaces where everyone feels a genuine sense of belonging has become a key priority. She also discusses why she enjoys workplace investigations, the professional challenges and personal toll of restructurings, and the importance of staying alert to the risks of AI. Along the way, Liz reflects on pushing herself beyond her comfort zone, how the in-house employment lawyer's role has evolved, and what she values most in external legal advisers.
