Lifting up women in law

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Holding Redlich, we explore the respective journeys and experiences of two recently appointed partners at the BigLaw firm, their perceptions on addressing gender inequality in the legal profession, and how best to support emerging practitioners.

Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Holding Redlich partners Megan Cant and Sarah Butler about their respective practice areas and how they both reached the partnership, what they see as the headline issues when it comes to elevating and supporting women in the profession, moving past tokenistic approaches, and how workplace changes are allowing individuals to flourish in ways that make sense to them.

Cant and Butler also delve into lessons learnt from recent workplace evolutions for the experience of women, their duties as leaders in a BigLaw firm to set the right example, the opportunities to keep driving equity and parity forward, the role of men in such conversations, and what Holding Redlich is doing to support women in the workplace.
