August 6: Is COVID-19 taking Women Lawyers' careers back to the 1950's?

“The current crisis has brought existing inequalities to the fore. It also risks exacerbating them”,
-- Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS). 

Just as the Covid-19 crisis has brutally exposed the fault-lines in the political and cultural mores in various countries and various world leaders, the crisis will test and may well expose the true culture of your own law firm, for better or worse. Therefore, does the legal profession generally require an active policy to avoid the COVID-19 crisis exacerbating existing inequalities? 
The In-House Community is proud to present the first topic in a series of Webinar discussions dedicated to ‘Women In Law’ on the topic of “Is Covid-19 taking women lawyers’ careers back to the 1950’s?“
