She Breaks the Law London Launch

by She Breaks the Law

She Breaks the Law is a global network dedicated to women leaders and changemakers in the legal industry who are passionate about innovation and collaboration. Launched on International Women's Day in March 2019, the network aims to connect like-minded women, share personal stories, and develop skills through training, mentoring, and coaching opportunities. The London launch event marked the beginning of this initiative, bringing together women from various backgrounds and disciplines to foster a community of 'lawbreakers' committed to driving positive change in the legal profession.

The event focused on key themes such as legal innovation, leadership, and the importance of collaboration across the legal ecosystem. Sessions included discussions on breaking down silos, facilitating cross-disciplinary partnerships, and exploring new methodologies like design thinking, Lean, and Agile to improve legal practices. Attendees had the opportunity to engage in interactive workshops, panel discussions, and networking sessions designed to inspire and equip them with the tools needed to lead transformative change within their organizations.

Notable speakers at the event included the network's co-founders—Christie Guimond, Priya Lele, and Nicky Leijtens—who shared their experiences and insights on leading legal innovation. The event also featured prominent women leaders from various sectors of the legal industry, offering diverse perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in driving innovation. The launch provided a platform for attendees to connect, collaborate, and build lasting relationships with peers who share a commitment to reshaping the future of law.

The London launch of She Breaks the Law was tailored for women in the legal profession who are eager to embrace innovation and lead change within their organizations. Whether they are practicing lawyers, in-house counsel, legal technologists, or professionals involved in legal operations, attendees benefited from the event's focus on skill development, knowledge sharing, and community building. By participating, they joined a growing global network of women dedicated to challenging the status quo and advancing the legal industry through innovative practices.
