IWD Dekinar: Women at the Bar: Issues in pursuing a career in law

News, Webinars | Tue 21st Feb, 2023

To celebrate International Women’s Day, Deka Chambers discuss the particular issues that women face in pursuing a career in law and the effect of intersectionality on our working lives.

Louise McCullough, Laura Elfield, Patricia Londono, Irene Sriharan and Susanna Bennett share their experiences, discuss the obstacles they have encountered and the importance of the support they have received along the way.

They consider how things have changed in recent years, what it’s like to come to the Bar as a second career, what it’s like to be a woman of colour in law and other issues they have faced in pursuing their careers.
