Supporting Women in Law
Whenever I refl ect on HER Legal Networking,
I always return to the belief that inspired it:
"Behind every successful woman is a circle of
women supporting her”. The legal profession
has made progress, but women still face unique
challenges, from balancing demanding workloads
with personal responsibilities to navigating career
progression in environments that may not always
feel inclusive. Creating spaces where women can
connect is not just benefi cial, it’s necessary.
HER Legal Networking provides a space where
women can learn from one another and share
experiences and exchange advice. These
conversations spark new ideas, encourage
personal and professional development and
remind women that they are not navigating
their careers alone.
There is something powerful about being
surrounded by ambitious, supportive women.
It creates an environment where people feel
comfortable sharing their goals, celebrating
their achievements and pushing themselves to
reach their full potential.
A Year of Growth
HER Legal Networking 2025-2026
When I started HER Legal last year, it was just me,
four sponsors, and a hope that women would
connect with what I was trying to build. This year
felt completely diff erent, we had nine sponsors,
85 incredible women and an energy in the room
that genuinely surprised me in the best way.
Our panel speakers brought honest, thoughtful
conversations about women’s experiences in
the legal profession. It wasn’t surface-level talk;
people were engaged, asking questions, sharing
their own stories, and connecting with one
another in a way that felt real.
After the discussions, we moved into the
shuffl eboard competition. This was something I
was not sure that people would get involved in,
but it ended up being one of the highlights of the
afternoon. The friendly competition, the prize for
the winner, the laughter around the table, it all
added a relaxed and fun element to the day.
With good food, drinks and women chatting like
they’d known each other for years, the whole
event had a welcoming, easy atmosphere. And
the nicest part? Before the afternoon even
fi nished, guests were already asking when the
next event would be.
The feedback has been excellent. People
loved the mix of meaningful conversation, fun
activities, and the chance to meet other women
in the legal space. HER Legal has grown so much
in just one year, and it’s clear it’s becoming
something women genuinely look forward to.
