The Women Lawyers Division

In October 2018, Danielle was selected to the Women Lawyers Division at the Law Society as a committee member.

Danielle feels that she is well placed to contribute to the gender equality campaign. As Hilary Rodham Clinton said, ‘Time alone is unlikely to alter significantly the under representation of women in law firm partnerships, judicial appointments…’ She shares that belief and regret that the equality agenda remains unfinished.

The Women Lawyers Division supports and advises all women solicitors and aspiring women solicitors, from trainees to retirees.

What does the Women Lawyers Division do?

We are dedicated to meeting the needs of all women solicitors; deliver key news, regulatory and management information

We share expertise and experience, and celebrate the achievements of women solicitors.

We commission articles from leading women lawyers and legal commentators, on issues of importance to women in the law, as well as practical support and guidance, including on career development.

We host an annual conference and the Fiona Wolf lecture.

Our Returner course provides solicitors, men and women, with the tools they need to enable them to return to the profession after a career break
