Equality before the Law – bar perspectives on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

As most of us return to some sort of business as usual post Covid-19, it is important to reflect on, and continue to think about the effects of the pandemic on equality, diversity and inclusion. This showcase session, presented by the Rule of Law Forum, will provide an opportunity to hear about both the positive and negative impacts of Covid-19 on EDI, from the perspectives of five bar leaders from around the world. Whether you are a bar leader yourself or a lawyer working in-house or in a law firm, this session will offer new insights into this important topic and how different jurisdictions have been affected.

All sessions are being recorded, unless otherwise stated.
