Leadership in Law 2025 is a premier conference designed to empower legal professionals as they navigate emerging challenges and opportunities in the legal landscape. Organized by International, this event aims to foster inclusivity and innovation within the legal profession, building upon the legacy of the former Women, Influence & Power in Law UK (WIPL UK) conference.
The conference agenda features dedicated tracks focusing on leadership development, inclusivity in practice, and strategic growth. Attendees can engage in expert-led discussions on topics such as crisis management strategies, social mobility in legal access, and navigating geopolitical uncertainties. Additionally, an exclusive leadership forum, in collaboration with Diversity Lab and Global Leaders in Law, offers insights from global legal pioneers.
Practical elements of the event include networking opportunities with industry leaders, interactive roundtables, and a prestigious awards ceremony recognizing outstanding contributions to the legal field. Notable speakers include Dr. Charlotte Proudman, an award-winning barrister and founder of Right To Equality, and Alan Evans, General Counsel and Director General at HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
This conference is ideal for UK and European law firm leaders, partners, managing partners, heads of legal, general counsel, and chief equality officers seeking to enhance their leadership skills, champion inclusivity, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving legal environment.
