Emma Boffey

The annual event brings together a number of high-profile and inspiring women from the Scottish and English legal communities to share their personal experiences and address our members on issues such as women’s rights in the UK and international context, women in the judiciary and boardroom, and whether the glass ceiling remains an issue for female lawyers in the 21st Century.
