During her career at Freshfields,Falk noted she experienced sexism despite being a partner. In an interview,she said during her time there she would often be the only female attending meetings and her male colleagues in those meetings would demonstrate selective hearing,with a male colleague repeating a point she had made earlier which then would be treated as a good idea.

In 2015 she was appointed as a deputy judge of the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery Chamber) having left Freshfields partnership while still working on a consultancy basis until 2018. [3] [1]
