IFLR1000 Women Leaders Methodology
IFLR1000 Women Leaders are the most prominent female lawyers working in the areas of law researched (financial and corporate transactions and contract, licensing and regulatory project work) within their jurisdictions.
This is an elite group of lawyers with outstanding reputations within their markets who either have expertise and experience of working on complex deals, or who have risen to hold leadership roles with their firms or their practices.
Why now?
Women make up increasing proportions of the global legal profession, but their progress still differs dramatically by culture, nation and institution. IFLR1000 has a mission to highlight the firms that are looking at their own culture to see whether they are valuing and investing in their female staff.
IFLR1000 Women Leaders are all at the forefront of this cultural shift.
