What Does It Mean To Be A Woman In Family Law Today?

What does it mean to be a woman in family law today? Read this article by Today’s Family Lawyer to see how our co-founder Samantha Woodham, along with Marilyn Stowe and Deborah Heald answered that question. For Samantha, this was an opportunity to #choosetochallenge traditional working cultures:

The key challenge is retaining talent. For too long we have allowed working patterns to thrive which rely on successful professionals being unable to combine work with home commitments. This has to change. Flexible working needs to become the norm for all professionals, so that parents do not need to choose between caring responsibilities and a successful career…

The pandemic has been hard on so many, but has offered a once in a generation opportunity to reassess work-life balance and create a working culture which is fit for purpose and does not discriminate. I hope we don’t squander this opportunity. Business as usual will simply lead to further loss of talent. This is the time to make work practices and cultures reflect the diverse workforce we want to promote.
