Description
This session picks up where Harvard Business Review left off in a 2016 article. Our panellists reflect on the notion of quotas and whether they have a place in the legal profession, or are in fact destructive and demean people who have only earned status and recognition because they are in a specific category. Join us and engage in stimulating discussion on what continues to be a polarising issue for corporate and board leadership around the world.
