Building Women | Sinem Caliskan- Making Yourself Heard
In this month’s episode of Building Women, Emily Clements-Rudkin chats with Sinem Caliskan, Senior Legal Counsel at STRABAG. Passionate about hard work, financial independence and opening doors for others coming through non‑traditional routes, this candid conversation explores: Walking away from a childhood dream of medicine, and finding her way into law without a “perfect” CV, vacation schemes or early training contract Building a career across Freshfields, in‑house roles, the Big Four and tier one contractors - often as the youngest, and only, woman in the room The role of mentors and male allies in giving her the confidence to speak up, be seen and back herself Her practical advice for younger women on courage, overthinking and not being your own biggest barrier
