David Burgess, Publishing Director at The Legal 500, explains why The Legal 500 has worked with Clifford Chance to profile some of the firm’s successful female partners and associates from around the world.
What would we tell our younger selves if we had the chance? It’s a notion that has provided ample fodder for books and films.
In Advice To My Younger Self: Reflections of Successful Women Lawyers, compiled by the GC magazine team at The Legal 500, we worked with Clifford Chance to profile the professional journeys of some of its female partners and associates around the world. The purpose of this project is to show younger women entering the legal profession the diversity of pathways to success as a woman in law, and also to share practical learnings and tips – in other words, what these high-achieving women would now tell their younger selves.
