Mohsin Zaidi

Mohsin Zaidi is a highly accomplished former barrister and writer whose career spans top-tier legal and consultancy roles. Having served as a Judicial Assistant at the UK Supreme Court to Lord Sumption and Lord Wilson, he also garnered international experience at a UN War Crimes tribunal in The Hague. After qualifying at the prestigious firm Linklaters, he transitioned his expertise into management consultancy at Hakluyt. His professional journey is complemented by his status as a leading voice on the board of Stonewall and his recognition by The Financial Times as a future leader in the LGBTQ+ community. As the first student from his school to attend Oxford University, Mohsin's personal narrative is one of remarkable perseverance and social mobility. His debut memoir, A Dutiful Boy, achieved critical acclaim, winning both the Polari Prize and the Lambda Literary Award while being named Book of the Year by the Guardian, GQ, and the New Statesman. Through his writing and his podcast, Tiny Huge Decisions, he explores complex themes of identity, surrogacy, and mental health with a blend of humour and profound humanity. He is a frequent media commentator for Sky News and has featured in The Lawyer Magazine Hot 100. Audiences book Mohsin for his unique ability to bridge the gap between high-level corporate law and the personal realities of diversity and inclusion. His storytelling provides a powerful lens through which organisations can understand the importance of representation and the resilience required to drive cultural change in the modern workplace. On stage, Mohsin Zaidi is best known for talks on Wellbeing and Diversity & Inclusion. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Education, Health & Wellbeing and Social Impact & Advocacy, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
