Over 15 lawyers, with years of experience in disputes or who started their careers in disputes practice across India, participated in the session both in person and online. Through a focused discussion, the participants addressed forms of gender-based discrimination they face daily in the corporate world, barriers to attaining leadership positions, the challenges of transitioning from the corporate bar to the judiciary, as well as ways to address and overcome these barriers.
