SUMMARY:Global update on gender quotas: do we need them to adjust gender 
 imbalance in leadership 
DESCRIPTION:Around the world\, quota systems take many forms-mandatory bo
 ard quotas\, voluntary targets\, or corporate self-regulation-affecting 
 not only company directors\, but also managers\, general counsels\, and 
 law firms.\n\nThe panel will examine both the benefits and drawbacks of 
 such measures: Do quotas effectively drive progress in diversifying orga
 nisations\, or do they risk fostering tokenism? How have companies\, leg
 al departments\, and law firms responded\, and what lessons can be drawn
  from different jurisdictions? We will also compare quotas with alternat
 ive strategies\, such as mentorship initiatives\, flexible work policies
 \, transparent promotion &amp\; evaluation processes\, or unconscious bi
 as training\, in building sustainable change.\n\nAudience questions and 
 comments are warmly welcomed to enrich this timely global conversation.\
