Have your say on the future of work in the legal profession
The Australian National University and University of Sydney are conducting a study to identify key labour market and workplace transformations in the law and understand how these changes might affect women and men differently within the profession. The Women Lawyers’ Association of NSW is pleased to collaborate on this research, along with the Law Society of NSW, as we seek to determine what can be done now to identify and address gendered inequalities in the future of work within the law.
We invite members and colleagues to participate in this research via The Future of Work in the Legal Profession survey. Your participation is highly valued and will help us understand what may contribute to a rewarding and sustainable profession and assist policymakers and professional leaders build a more equitable future. Responses will remain confidential and anonymous. You can read more about the research here.
The survey closes at 5pm on Tuesday 28 September 2021. Please click here to access the Survey.
