Women in Law - A Celebration of International Women's Day

Join us for a panel discussion and networking event in celebration of International Women's Day. This event will follow the format of a panel discussion and Q&A followed by a networking session.

This event is aimed at showcasing women from international backgrounds and providing attendees with insight into how they work and thrive within the legal sector within the UK. The event will provide attendees with an insight into the journey and challenges that women, particularly women from international backgrounds face in the UK.
