Women in the Law UK: network for success

Women in the Law UK will hold its inaugural events in Birmingham and Glasgow this month.

The rapidly expanding professional development and support organisation will hold events in Birmingham on 19 June and in Glasgow on 26 June. Speakers have been confirmed for both events.

The organisation also runs events in London, Leeds, Liverpool and Edinburgh.

Sally Penni, founder of Women in the Law UK, said: ‘There is no shortage of women entering the legal profession but we remain woefully under-represented in senior and leadership roles.

‘The sector still needs to make some major structural changes but, in the meantime, it is vital that we take steps to secure and develop our own careers, and our events help female legal professionals do just that.’

Events are held under Chatham House Rule. To book tickets, visit: www.womeninthelawuk.com.
