Lucy Hughes, Scheme Actuary and Chair of our Women's Network

Whilst LCP has grown a lot, our people-first approach has remained constant. I was the first Partner to return to LCP after maternity leave and I worked part-time, including some of that at home — which was ground-breaking at the time. I feel proud to work for a firm that listens to people’s requests and is flexible and adaptable in its approach.

Recognising the many women in our industry, but the lack at senior levels, I helped established the LCP Women’s Network back in 2014, which I now co-chair. 10 years ago, we had less than 10% female partners and now we’ve over 25% with 40% of promotions in the last five years female.

Some of my first clients when I joined as a graduate, such as 3i and Lincoln’s Inn, are still valued LCP clients.
