A course aimed specifically at women partners in law firms has been launched by the University of Cambridge Judge Business School.
The Women in Law Leadership Course is the first open education programme in Europe to address the challenges facing women in senior positions within the law. The four-day course covers topics such as leadership styles, how to make teams more effective, the power of personal example and strategies for success.
The programme’s director, Fiona Rice, a former Linklaters banking partner, said the programme had “come about in response to what we are hearing from law firms—that there is a pressing need to focus on the development of key female talent at partner level as well as to provide a forum to focus on the challenges they face as women in that role.”
