Women in Legal Tech
The conference
We had the honor of organizing our first event at Sciences Po on the theme "Breaking Barriers: Women in Law in Tech," open to both male and female students of Sciences Po and the general public.
We had the opportunity to listen and learn from the experiences of three extraordinary women who joined us as speakers: Sonia Cissé, partner at Linklaters; Anais Person, founder of Women in Legal Tech and the Privacy Tech association; and Nadia Lamrhari, legal head at Google Cloud France.
Thank you to our speakers for conveying the message that:
- Paths to excellence don't necessarily have to be linear and predetermined
- Social inequalities can be challenged through awareness, but especially through mentoring, leadership, and support programs.
- Diversity is an added value to encourage and be proud of.
We hope this conference shed light on the fact that while the lack of diversity in decision-making places is a real problem, our collective efforts can positively change the status quo.
Our goal as an organization is precisely to dismantle these cognitive biases from the university stage at Sciences Po, and we look forward to continuing this journey by organizing many more activities!
Thanks to everyone who participated yesterday and supported us, to the speakers, and to the Legal Change team members for making this first event possible!
