We are proud to announce that we have partnered with the SCL and 4Pump Court to organise 'Celebrating Business Women's Day', a virtual event with Fran Halsall, Triple Olympian and Keynote Speaker. During this event, Fran will explore 'big goal' setting, including the challenges of being an ambitious elite athlete and her experience of overcoming times of low motivation.

Following the keynote speech Fran will join a panel discussion chaired by Rebecca Keating, Barrister at 4Pump Court and Katie Simmonds, Managing Associate at Womble Bond Dickinson. The panel will comprise of:

  • Fran Halsall, Triple Olympian and Keynote Speaker
  • Caroline Churchill, Partner, Womble Bond Dickinson - Digital Team
  • Sue McLean, Partner, Baker McKenzie - IP, Data and Technology Group
  • Sarah Green, Law Commissioner for Commercial and Common Law.

Bitesize video series

Leading up to the Business Women's Day event, we will be sharing a series of bitesize video interviews featuring a number of women in technology, including in-house counsel, women specialising in the implementation of tech in law firms and members of the judiciary. Throughout the course of these interviews, we will explore both the exciting and challenging aspects of pursuing a career in technology, the benefits of mentor programmes, as well as what it really takes to successfully pursue a career in technology as a woman. Each interview will share a unique journey, with the aim to inspire and empower those women wanting to pursue a career in technology to do so.

This event has passed, get in touch for a copy of the event recording or to speak to a member of the team.
