Sarah Walton, Managing Partner at law firm, Weightmans, said:
“This year’s International Women’s Day theme, Give To Gain, resonates deeply with me. My journey at Weightmans has been shaped by the encouragement, sponsorship and generosity of mentors and colleagues who were willing to advocate, challenge and champion me along the way.
“As I complete my first year as the firm’s first female
Managing Partner, I feel a strong sense of responsibility – not only to celebrate the power of collaboration, but to widen pathways and create momentum for others. Positive change in the legal sector is already taking place, and I am confident that many more exceptional women will go on to become Managing Partners at Weightmans in the years ahead.
Together, we can and must ensure women from all backgrounds are supported to thrive and to see what’s possible.”
