Lawyers Weekly’s annual Women in Law Forum returned for its third instalment in November 2024.
We once again delivered another exceptional event, designed to both honour the women reshaping the legal landscape and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future for those coming through the ranks.
Meaningful progress has been achieved, in recent years, towards equity in Australia’s legal profession, However, the recent unveiling of gender pay gap data in big corporates across the country, and the escalating rates of fatal male violence against women, are reminders of just how far we have to go in our workplaces and our justice system.
The Women in Law Forum offered a space in which to be inspired by distinguished legal professionals, fierce advocates and passionate activists, as they delved into the unresolved inequities that still linger in professional services and beyond.
