Biography

Former President of the Law Society of England and Wales and a lifelong campaigner for gender equality, Christina was honoured to receive the Justitia awards for International Leadership in 2020 for her work in spearheading a research and activism programme around women in leadership in law. This lead to the engagement of thousands of lawyers across the globe, the world’s largest ever survey on the subject, 250 round tables in 19 countries and 3 significant reports. Christina now supports businesses on their diversity and inclusion journey and also has expertise in technology and the future of the law- chairing 2 UK government bodies in the field.

 

There has been progress for women in the legal professions but much more needs to be done. There is absolutely no room for complacency and we all must work together to bring about an equal world.
