International Women’s Day is 8 March 2023. This year’s global theme, “Embrace Equity,” reflects the idea that each of us are responsible for embracing fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all. Together, we can work collectively to make a positive impact for change and forge a fair and equal world in all aspects of our lives, including workplaces, communities, learning institutions, and beyond.
Our Women in the Profession Committee is harnessing the energy and spirit of International Women’s Day to raise awareness against bias and take action for equity.

We invite all of our lawyers, employees, clients, and friends of the firm to join us in making a pledge to encourage, support, and embrace diversity and inclusion, recognizing that small changes can make a big difference in the workplace.
