We are changing the conversations about women in the workplace and in doing so we aim to shift long held attitudes and beliefs so that more women are able to progress through the profession.
We run a weekly series of interviews with people who we find inspiring and who have interesting stories to tell. The series is called Reinvent, Rebuild Restart: Vital Skills for a Successful Career and is designed to provide practical insights as well as motivation and inspiration.

“How to Build the Next Generation of Female Rainmakers” saw Kathleen Russ, Travers Smith Managing Partner, talk to a diverse panel of law firm partners and GCs about what is clearly a hot topic – the event sold out in 24 hours.
