In an article for the Financial Times, Laura Noonan reports on the persistent gender disparity in the legal profession. She cites a recent ABA study revealing "that women now represent just over 22 percent of all partners and 19 percent of equity partners." With this challenge top of mind, Noonan looks at the new ways the legal sector is encouraging and supporting gender diversity. She highlights Burford's Equity Project and quotes Aviva Will on the project's success: "Now women are stepping up, we’re giving them a reason to put themselves forward.”
