Proud to Celebrate International Women's Day. #BeBoldForChange

March 8, 2017

March 8 is International Women’s Day, a day to celebrate the achievements and determination of women around the world. This year’s theme is #BeBoldForChange, a call to forge a more inclusive, better working world.​​

At Blakes, our commitment to fostering the development of strong, courageous and independent women has long been embedded in our Firm’s culture. Throughout the years, we have not wavered in our determination to support gender equity and create opportunities for women within our Firm, in law and business. Blakes is a better place, and our work lives are richer and more vibrant, because we recognize and celebrate the extraordinary leadership, dedication and intellectual contributions of great women.

Here are just some of the ways we have promoted the empowerment of women along the way:
