We’ve all been there. A woman knocking her head on the glass ceiling in a male-dominated company. A female professional who doesn’t know if she has what it takes to take the C-Suite. An aspiring lawyer who can have it all but isn’t sure what “all” is – or should be.
On 21 August 2019, over 50 young lawyers, legal executives and law students turned up at TSMP for the firm’s inaugural Women’s Empowerment on Speed! event, with a speed-dating style mentoring session, where 17 senior – female and male – members of the bar and the business community lend their experience and share their advice on how women can get the most out of their careers.
