The gender pay gap - How level is the playing field?

Many thanks to those who attended this event last week!

We held a discussion focusing on the retention of female talent through positive company values, processes, management skills, and how these can be embedded within the in-house team.

We hosted this event on Wednesday 26 September with global legal market research experts Acritas.

The purpose was to discuss the gender gap in pay and means for levelling the playing field. Acritas shared scientific evidence uncovered in its research study Sharplegal to help drive change in the legal profession. Focus was also on processes to management skills and how these can be embedded within the in-house team.

The panel was Jo Summers, Director at Acritas, Bruce Macmillan, GC for Irwin Mitchell and Kelly Thomson, Legal Director at RPC.

Claire Debney, Head of Legal Strategy from Shire chaired the event.
