Chambers Women in Law

The objectives of Chambers WIL are to:

1) promote and further the advancement of women in the law on an international level;

2) raise awareness and discussion of key issues that affect women in law;

3) provide a professional and social network for women lawyers.

The Chambers Women in Law awards recognise the outstanding achievements of female lawyers at the pinnacle of their professional careers as well as up and coming lawyers who are beginning to make their mark. The Chambers WIL blog provides an opportunity for discussion around the issues of women’s visibility and promotion within the legal profession.

On January 15th, 2013, two hundred guests attended the Chambers Women in Law Awards 2013 at The Harvard Club of New York City. The awards were presented by Laura Beth Taylor from DuPont, Louise Parent from American Express and Mary Jo White from Debevoise. The winners list is available here.

We held our first Women in Law Awards for the USA market in New York in February 2012. You can find out more information about the 2012 awards here.

We look forward to continuing the debate and raising the profile of women lawyers across the world. If you have any thoughts, comments or suggestions about this initiative, we would love to hear from you. Please email the Editor Dee Sekar: dee.sekar@chambersandpartners.com
