Join the Wollongong Chapter of the Women Lawyers Association of NSW for Christmas Drinks at Hilda’s Bar in the The Illawarra. Reconnect with friends and colleagues and raise a glass to the end of 2021!

Fabulous canapes and grazing platters provided; drinks included.

This is the eighth year of the law firm comparison project.

Renee Bianchi, WLANSW President, says: “It is encouraging that our data shows continual improvement in the number of women in senior leadership positions in the profession, and a reduction in firms promoting only men to partnership.
We hope that the flexible work practices that have been adopted through the pandemic will continue and this will lead to greater diversity in workplace culture and structure.
More work needs to be done. Cultural change cannot continue at a glacial pace if we wish to retain and promote greater numbers of women in the legal profession.”
