She has worked with leadership on the broader diversity & inclusion agenda to further the retention, progression and development of Black talent, co-sponsoring the ethnicity D&I workstream in the legal function. Ugo spearheaded a series of workshops for colleagues, where she led discussions around the challenges and opportunities for BAME legal professionals in the work place.

She has spoken about D&I issues for HuffPost and the House of Commons, and has co-hosted roundtable discussions with law firms and clients about why it is necessary to make an impactful change in the ethnicity and gender space, how we can achieve this and why it makes good moral, social and business sense.
