Set against a backdrop of initiatives including the 30% Club’s drive to improve senior female representation on UK boards, Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF) has announced today (13 March) that by 2019 women will make up 30% of its partnership.
The top 10 UK firm, which currently has a female partnership ratio of around 20%, has said it will bring in the changes in two stages: by May 2017 at least 25% of the partnership will be women, followed by 30% in May 2019.
