Description
In recent years, the IBA has launched two major reports on the problems of bullying and sexual harassment and the crisis in lawyer wellbeing in the legal profession. Overall, the findings of these reports demonstrated that these are global and interconnected problems, with deep rooted causes. This session will be a roundtable discussion, focusing on what bars and law societies are, and should be, doing to combat these issues, including training, guidance, and even regulation where applicable.
