The next Female Counsel event will take place at 9am on 29th September. I am delighted to be joined by a panel of female lawyers who have in recent times all been promoted to partner. They will lead our discussion on their different paths to partnership, what they have learnt along the way and the reality of achieving that coveted title! My huge thanks to Alanna, Alison and Fran for agreeing to take part in this.

This will be a fabulous IN PERSON event bringing together our incredible network of female lawyers from a host of disciplines and firms. This is a great opportunity to meet with other female lawyers, make new connections, share stories and most importantly, support and elevate one another!

The next Female Counsel event will take place on 26th May at 9am. At our last session a really important question was asked: ‘How do we female lawyers set boundaries to enable us to be happy, successful and fulfilled both at work and outside the office?’ This is such a huge topic and one that demands proper discussion time. How do we assert ourselves to gain some sort of work/life balance? Is it even possible?

As part of my new business, I want to provide women with a forum in which to discuss issues that really matter in the modern legal world. And so I am pleased to launch ‘Female Counsel’. Every quarter I will be joined by an inspiring woman and I am delighted to announce that Vivien Davies, senior litigation partner at Fieldfisher will be my first guest speaker. Vivien is passionate about nurturing and #elevatingfemaletalent and she is going to discuss how the workplace needs to be redesigned to ensure it is fit for purpose.
