The O Shaped Steering Board
Dan Kayne
Founder of O Shaped
Dan trained and qualified at Dechert LLP before moving in house to Network Rail.
Between 2015 and 2022, Dan was a General Counsel at Network Rail, where he embedded a People First approach with his multi-disciplinary team.
By taking care of themselves and one another, Dan felt that his team would be highly engaged and perform to the very best of their ability - a philosophy which proved to be the case.
It is this pursuit of excellence through the well-being, engagement, relationships and team development that led to Dan creating O Shaped.
Whilst the legal profession has always been known for its technical excellence, it is seldom seen as a profession that places the same level of importance on the engagement and development of its people.
That is why the ‘O’ came about - to recognise that success requires a holistic approach. More rounded and engaged lawyers make for better lawyers and ultimately a profession which better serves its customers.
Dan wants the ‘O’ to be the driving force to make this happen.
