SUMMARY:Stop preaching to the choir! Male champions as catalysts of gende
 r parity in law firms
DESCRIPTION:This session will examine which role male champions of gender
  equity and equality at corporate law firms can have as catalysts for ch
 ange. While women law firm leaders and women lawyers need to work toward
 s achieving greater gender parity\, they are keenly aware of the challen
 ges they face and what needs to be done to have an increasingly levelled
  playing field. Thus\, having women discuss these matters solely amongst
  themselves is like preaching to the choir. Given that in most countries
  a wide majority of law firm leaders are men (including managing partner
 s\, executive committee members\, shareholders/equity partners\, etc)\, 
 the question arises whether greater male involvement in and ownership of
  gender parity goals can serve as an accelerator towards reaching those 
 goals. The panel will present the latest research on the subject\, as we
 ll as the panellists' experiences and best practices regarding male cham
 pions of gender equity and equality at corporate law firms.
