LAW SOCIETY NT BALANCE EDITION 2|21
The theme for 2021 was Choose to Challenge. The panel spoke to a range of issues impacting on women in the profession including: ●● Sexual harassment ●● Barriers to joining the bar ●● Workplace flexibility and caring It was an extremely successful event that for the third year running was booked out. It is also heartening to see each year more and more men from the profession join this event and become part of the conversation. I hope that this reflects a growing realisation that barriers faced by women in the legal profession are concerns for all members of the profession.
