Freshfields shows how neurodiversity work becomes infrastructure when it scales beyond one firm

Freshfields describes how James Smither co-founded the Legal Neurodiversity Network in 2023 and how the network has grown to more than 90 law firms, 10 other organisations and close to 400 people on its mailing lists. That growth matters because neuroinclusion is moving from individual accommodation to cross-firm practice change, with training, support groups, recruitment practice and diagnosis pathways becoming part of the professional infrastructure.
