by International Bar Association (IBA) Women Lawyers' Committee

The 9th World Women Lawyers’ Conference: Women in Leadership is a premier event organized by the International Bar Association (IBA) Women Lawyers' Committee. This conference brings together female legal professionals from around the globe to discuss and promote women's leadership within the legal profession.

Key topics covered include strategies for achieving more women in leadership positions, the launch of the IBA Women Lawyers’ Committee Mentoring Toolkit, and discussions on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in legal practice. Sessions also explore the role of quotas in management and the challenges female attorneys face in attaining equity partnerships.

The conference features interactive roundtable discussions, fireside chats, and keynote speeches from notable figures such as Anita Krohn Traaseth, a Norwegian business executive. Attendees have opportunities to network during social events, including receptions and dinners, fostering connections among women lawyers worldwide.

This event is ideal for female legal professionals seeking to enhance their leadership skills, engage in meaningful discussions on gender equality in law, and expand their professional networks.
