Background

About Serena Wallace-Turner

I’m Managing Director at Radiant Law, a purpose-driven B-Corp and award-winning law company. We were named Law Company of the Year (The Lawyer Awards 2024) and ALSP of the Year (Law.com International Awards) for our pioneering work in optimising how organisations create, negotiate, and manage their commercial relationships. Our focus is on helping in-house legal teams deliver more value—faster, smarter, and more collaboratively. Earlier in my career, I founded and led Asia’s first alternative legal services provider (ALSP)—a market-leading business that was also the first in the region to offer part-time roles to mothers returning to the legal profession. I successfully scaled and exited the company, and have since built and advised law companies across the UK, Asia Pacific, South Africa, and the Caribbean for over 12 years. Before stepping into the world of legal innovation, I worked on the ECM desk at Citigroup Hong Kong, structuring and selling Asia Pacific capital markets transactions. I also helped build out the Beijing and Shanghai offices of a Magic Circle firm during its expansion into mainland China. Outside of my executive role, I advise both commercial and non-profit ventures on strategy, outreach, and fundraising. I have invested in, advised, and exited five startups. I was also a founding board member of the Lumen Prize—the first and leading global award celebrating art and technology—from inception through to its successful exit.
