Biography
Amanda Neil is General Counsel of the Head Group. Prior to joining Head, she spent many years in private practice. She uses her professional experience and her personal experiences as a female lawyer to effect positive change in the legal world so that younger generations of women have an easier path and can fullfil their full potential.
The fact that there are so few women at the top of the legal world is a result of the structural impediments that exist in the legal profession for women. These impediments give men a competitive advantage over women. They need to be dismantled to ensure that the best lawyers make it to the top of the profession. By striving for the equality of men and women in law, organisations such as The Women in Law Initiative are ultimately helping to safeguard the integrity of our profession.
