Biography
Dr. Alex Patrick is a Lecturer in Law at Middlesex University in London. She holds a PhD in Law from Southampton University, and researches the role of regulatory tools like pay transparency in narrowing the gender pay gap and in highlighting and eliminating unequal pay between women and men performing equal work.
Despite progress, the gender pay gap in the legal profession persists, as do discriminatory organisational cultures and structures that hinder women’s career advancement. The elimination of pay discrimination in the legal profession is crucial. Ensuring women are compensated equally with their male counterparts is not just about fairness; it’s about recognizing and rewarding their equal contribution to justice and society.
