The Equity Project is an award-winning initiative designed to help close the gender gap in law by providing an economic incentive for change.
Through a $50 million pool of capital earmarked for financing commercial litigation and arbitration matters led by women, The Equity Project aims to give more women in law more opportunities for leadership that will advance their careers and level the playing field.
Burford has created a comprehensive guide to help women lawyers and their law firms understand how The Equity Project can help.
