World Café session

Participants in this symposium have been selected for their expertise and experience in diversity and inclusion within the legal sector. The World Café session will pose questions for discussion and the collective thoughts and ideas will be collated into a White Paper which will be sent to each participant after the event.

A sample question for consideration:

To what extent should law firms/chambers be amenable to staff ‘bringing their whole self to work’?
