I also wanted to share some of the supportive comments about Barbara posted under the LinkedIn

"3 amazing ladies who have been chosen as finalists... I am slightly biased, towards Barbara Corbett, amazing work in Family Law … and more"

"Barbara Corbett is an outstanding family lawyer and so much more besides. I had the honour of serving on the board of a charity with her and her professionalism, hard work and good old fashioned wisdom was transformative. Could not be more chuffed!"

Oh wow all of you are absolutely amazing women and whom I know personally. You have lead and campaigned - and still do so for women’s rights and equality and inclusion.

I cannot be more proud of all 3 of you to have been put as finalists

"Barbara Corbett is an amazing lady, always ready to help....she so deserves this nomination "
