For more than 100 years, International Women’s Day has celebrated the achievements of women and pushed for gender parity. But this year, we’ve chosen to focus our main feature on the role that men need to play in actually achieving this within the legal profession.

Some may question why we are taking this approach, when men already have ample opportunity to get their voice heard within the profession. The answer to this is quite simple – as men hold the vast majority of leadership roles within law firms, the onus has got to be on them to drive real change.
