Invitation to complete the International Women in Law Survey

Dear colleague

In anticipation of the "International Women in Law Summit" in March 2012 we would like to invite you to take part in a survey about the progression of women to senior roles in the legal profession.

The survey will be available to take until Monday 19th December 2011 and should only take 10 minutes. If you wish to participate please click here.

The  "International Women in Law Summit 2012 - Setting the Agenda for Change", takes place on International Women's day on 8th March 2012 at the Law Society in London. Senior partners and in-house counsels from global law practices will attend the Summit which seeks to identify and respond to the key issues curbing the progress of women in the law including workplace practices and culture, as well as career development support.

The Summit aims to highlight not only barriers but, most critically, future strategies to ensure that more senior women advance to leadership positions, and reflect the talent pool entering the profession. The Summit aims to create a manifesto for women in the legal profession and to drive a more proactive agenda at both national and international levels.

The findings of this survey will be presented at the Summit in March. A copy of the findings will be sent to those who complete the survey.
