Smart & Biggar salutes female partners as leaders on International Women’s Day
In celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD) this year Smart & Biggar proudly salutes our female partners who serve as leaders and mentors to all of us every day, and we embrace the IWD theme for 2019 of #BalanceforBetter.
As a firm we believe that a balanced world is a better world and we have dedicated ourselves to achieving gender balance and gender parity across all of our areas of practice and business services teams, and across all roles and levels.
These ten talented women represent one quarter (25%) of our partnership ranks, and are among the ‘best of the best’ in their fields of practice including patents, trademarks, regulatory law and litigation, and in the scientific & technical fields of chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, mechanical and electrical engineering.
We are proud of their individual achievements in the work they do for our clients and in serving as role models for young women in law, business, science and technology.
