‘We Further Women’, WFW’s global women’s initiative, is dedicated to furthering gender balance in our firm and the core sectors of energy, infrastructure and transport in which we operate.
Spearheaded by employees and backed by partners, this programme offers a nurturing environment for WFW’s female professionals to foster their career growth.
As part of this initiative and in recognition that it can be challenging for women to find senior role models in these sectors; we have devised a series of varied events taking place throughout our offices. These are designed for our female clients and WFW lawyers with the goal of empowering the next generation of female leaders. Examples include our ‘Women in Transport’, ‘Women in Maritime’ and ‘Women in Energy & Infrastructure’ networking events held in our Athens, London and New York offices; as well as our ‘Women in Business and Law’ webinar series conducted in Italy.
Complementing our networking activities, we host a series of client-centric discussion forums that are open to all genders, fostering inclusive dialogues about improving gender balance within organisations. Furthermore, we actively contribute to industry-wide initiatives, collaborating with industry and thought leaders to share best practice and develop practical actions that enhance women’s professional advancement.
