Come with us to our Accelerate>>> networking event at Museum of Modern Electronic Music in the heart of Frankfurt!
In partnership with our gender parity network Accelerate>>>, our German Innovation & Best Delivery Hub shared insights into our legal tech and tools, such as our collaboration platform Clifford Chance Connect, AI-based web application LUCY and document analysis tool Kira – and how they make our legal advice even more innovative.
Our gender parity network Accelerate>>> hosted ‘The Brilliant Breakfast’ across our London and Newcastle offices, an annual fundraising event founded by The Prince's Trust Women Supporting Women Initiative!
With a panel co-chaired by Accelerate>>> trainee representatives, Caroline Smyth and Ella Keating, we heard from Alanna Lee (Managing Director at Morgan Stanley), Jemma Dick (Partner), Sophie Schwass (UK Regional Chief Operating Officer), Midori Takenaka (Senior Associate) and Yuli Adagun (Associate) about their diverse experiences as successful women in male-dominated industries, with the conversation covering themes of confidence, work-life integration, authenticity, successful leadership and wellbeing.
The funds raised help support disadvantaged young women to change their lives for the better, through education, training and meaningful employment. Thanks to all who joined us!.
On 8 March our offices across the world once again joined together with a month-long, global campaign of events and initiatives to champion equality and celebrate advocates for gender equality for International Women's Day.
Our campaign theme for this year is #BreakTheBias: taking affirmative action to interrupt biases which may prevent us realising our inclusion goals.
