Women in Law Around the World — frequently asked questions

What challenges do women face in the legal profession?

Bias in hiring and promotion, unequal sponsorship, and work-life pressures are common globally, with jurisdiction-specific variations. Episodes in this track address them directly with women who navigated them.

Are there more women partners now?

Numbers are rising in many jurisdictions but partnership equity gaps remain. Our guests discuss what changed and what still needs to.

How can men support women in law?

Through sponsorship (not just mentorship), equitable delegation, and structural change. Several episodes touch on what allyship looks like in practice.
