From client breakfasts, virtual events to book launches, here's how we're promoting gender equality at Clifford Chance.
As a member of the Women's Forum, Clifford Chance attended its G20 Italy conference which aimed to promote dialogue between public and private international decision-makers, and develop concrete proposals and solutions under the theme of #Shecovery, envisioning women as key players in facing the new global challenges.
Clifford Chance delegates, Global Managing Partner Matthew Layton and Ines Teixeira in the UK and Sindana Ulaganathan in Germany reflect on their key insights from the event.

Clare and Emma were also joined by Claire Perry O'Neill, Managing Director for Climate and Energy at the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, for an in-depth discussion around the key themes and developments shaping climate change with a special focus on the role of women as instigators of change, and the disproportionate impact of climate change on women.

To celebrate International Women's Day 2021, Clifford Chance offices joined together to pledge our support for the #ChooseToChallenge campaign, which informs us that "a challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change". How do we challenge each other and ourselves to: change the rules, change the culture, change the lived experience, in line with our global inclusion strategy. Let's all choose to challenge, while celebrating women and campaigning for gender equality throughout the month of March.
