Lucie is a London based journalist and writer currently working on her debut novel, SCRAPS, an upmarket commercial novel with satirical elements set inside the increasingly peculiar world of digital media.
After a brief and ill advised attempt at trainee lawyerdom, she escaped into journalism and has since spent her career reporting on the legal industry in London. Her work has covered law firm politics, partner pay wars, technology, growth strategy and the ongoing corporate obsession with innovation. She has also launched and edited new editorial products including The Lawyer’s associate focused newsletter Partnerless and Curve, covering tech, growth and innovation in the legal sector.
Alongside reporting and editing, Lucie regularly chairs industry events and panel discussions.
She speaks English and Spanish, has conversational Russian language skills learned in Odessa, Ukraine, and once studied Arabic at university, although she now remembers approximately enough to order a coffee and accidentally insult somebody’s uncle in the process.
Her fiction draws heavily on modern work culture, ambition, identity and the strange emotional side effects of professional life lived largely through Teams notifications.
