Stop the Brain Drain: Let’s change the culture in law for women in law

Stop the Brain Drain: Let’s change the culture in law for women in law


A Diversity in Law event presented by Nexa Law & 2to3days and in support of the Next 100 Years Campaign.

The legal industry has always lost far too many brilliant women due to its inflexible working practices and its culture of long hours. This must stop…and it is!

Law is also struggling to improve its overall diversity – why is that and what we are doing about it?

Event details:

Thursday 28th April, 4.45pm to 6pm
