Euromoney's Expert Guides has recognised 26 of our female lawyers as leading individuals in its Guide to the World's Leading Women in Business Law, the international guide to the top female legal practitioners. The 2017 guide is the seventh edition of the publication, which promotes and celebrates successful women in the legal industry.
Globally, the firm had representatives from 10 different jurisdictions. Philippa Stone, Brigette Baillie and Paula Hodges are named as leading individuals in two different practice areas, and Brenda Horrigan and Emma Kratochvilova are named as the only leading individual within their specialist practice areas in the jurisdictions in which they operate.
Elizabeth Poulos, Global Diversity Partner, said: "Having positive role models is important in improving gender balance in the partnership. This is fantastic recognition of, and gives increased visibility to, our women lawyers across jurisdictions to support our diversity and inclusion objectives."
