The Founder
Meet Kate Fleming
"I kept meeting young people whose lives had been changed by a decision they didn't know was illegal. I couldn't keep walking past that."
Kate Fleming is a multi-award-winning entrepreneur, edupreneur, duly qualified solicitor in Ireland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and career coach. She founded LawEd in 2010 and has single-handedly grown it into one of Ireland's and Northern Ireland's premier providers of legal education for young people and young adults. Kate was admitted to the Roll of Solicitors of Ireland in 2009 and also holds a Diploma in Corporate Law and Governance, a Masters in Career Coaching from the University of Limerick, and is qualified in BPS Testing through the British Psychological Society. Her mission is simple: the law is for everyone to understand and engage with, not just lawyers.
