“Let’s talk about the gender pay gap” - this evening our Vice Chair Barbara Mills KC is chairing a fantastic panel of speakers at an The Inns of Court Alliance for Women event exploring the gap in earnings between men and women at the Bar

Honoured to be part of this panel making common cause with chambers, Bar Council, The Inns of Court Alliance for Women LPMA Government Legal Department and others to tackle the worsening gender pay gap at the self employed bar. Thank you to a great audience with excellent ideas too.

Susanna McGibbon, treasury solicitor, said “look behind obvious data - what is it telling you”? Need ambition to do better.

Great to have lunch with members of SE Circuit in Cambridge yesterday to chat about issues affecting their practice.

I also met the next generation of legal talent at Cambridge University Law Society. We spoke about my career as Attorney General and as a former government lawyer in Government Legal Department.
