Women in Law Summit 2019 | Maddox Events | 17 May 2019 | Olympia, Hammersmith Rd, Hammersmith, London W14 8UX, UK

Following 2018’s sell-out event, we are back with the most eye-opening, educational and inspirational event yet!

Since 1990, women have represented more than 60% of new entrants into law, yet there is still a high attrition rate. This means female talent is not equally represented in the higher echelons - only 28% of partners are women.

We can work towards both equality and equity by sharing and learning from one another and supporting each other in our career.

Through a combination of inspiring keynotes, panel discussions on how to solve industry challenges, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities, Women in Law Summit enables people and organisations to do just this.

Learn from remarkable industry leaders sharing their insight, expertise and vision for the future face of law. You’ll learn practical tips and tricks, hear personal stories and delve into progressive and positive discussions on what it means to be a woman in the world of law.
