The Millenium Woman Lawyer Forum 2000

Are you an ambitious, independent-minded lawyer? Are you a practitioner keen to sharpen your skills and expand your horizons? The sixth Woman Lawyer Forum is designed for you.

Margaret McCabe
Forum Founder

The real world of law is by no means straightforward. The choices are infinite - to remain in private practice, to join an in-house team or to enter the new world of MDPs?

The key career decisions you make are crucial. Make a mistake; present yourself badly - you can pretty well forget it. Get it right - success is assured.

“There is so much useful, practical information during the day.”

The 1999 Woman Lawyer Forum

This year's Forum has been carefully structured so you can learn more about your personality and answer questions about your career relationships and business ability.

Don't miss this opportunity to take inspiration from those who have made it to the top; to hear from specialists in their fields; to network with other woman lawyers.

Who should attend?

Whether you are brand new to the profession, a mid-life work returner, a secretary, a legal executive with attitude or an ambitious high-flyer, the Millennium Woman Lawyer Forum is for you. Join hundreds of other women lawyers - and enjoy extensive networking opportunities.


	Highlights and resolutions agreed from last year's Forum Research work to heighten awareness of the financial implications of not providing genuine equal opportunities and flexibility in law firms, chambers and all businesses employing lawyers. Investigations to enable law firms, chambers and businesses to take out insurance cover against parental leave costs. Consideration of tax relief for childcare costs. Greater recognition of the needs of those with caring responsibilities. Support for fighting the “long-hours” culture; encouraging flexible working. Increase in the number of courses in gender awareness. Development of the mentoring network. Increased assistance for women lawyers who believe they have been exposed to discrimination - enabling them to pursue their rights.

“I came away feeling really encouraged and revitalised.”
