Next Generation Women in Law brings women across the legal profession together, not for surface-level networking, but for genuine connection, honest conversation and the kind of community that sparks change.
This page captures our past events so you can see how this movement is growing.
Event Summary:
Launch Breakfast - Birmingham
Our first Next Generation Women in Law event brought together women from across the profession for a morning of real talk, shared experience and collective energy. The panel; Norah Durrant, Lynette Lewis and Sarah Webb, offered a rare blend of honesty, humour and hard-earned wisdom.
The panel; Norah Durrant, Lynette Lewis and Sarah Webb, were described by attendees as powerhouse women: accomplished yet real, warm, authentic, empathetic, and refreshingly funny. They showed what it looks like to lead with compassion and authenticity, sharing openly about progression, leadership, motherhood, boundaries and burnout.
One message echoed again and again: we shouldn’t have to shape-shift to fit in.
Our value comes because we’re different, not despite it.
The morning created exactly what the profession needs more of; a space where women could speak honestly about the challenges they face, recognise the value of their contributions, and feel part of a community that lifts each other up. As one attendee put it, ‘Spaces like this matter.’
A reminder that when women feel seen and supported, confidence rises, burnout drops, and retention strengthens across the profession.
In-person events take place every quarter with online events in between.
