Women in Red

 

A message from the Women in Red Chair

 

Welcome to Women in Red at Norton Rose Fulbright South Africa. It is my honour to lead this dedicated group committed to empowering and supporting the incredible women within our firm. Our mission is to create an inclusive environment where women can thrive, advance their careers, and celebrate their achievements.

Through various events, mentorship programs, and initiatives, we aim to address gender disparities and promote professional growth. The amazing women who serve as ambassadors for Women In Red are the embodiment of resilience, leadership, and inspiration. To them, being a Woman in Red means breaking barriers, supporting one another, and paving the way for future generations.

We celebrate their stories and contributions, which highlight the strength and diversity that drive Norton Rose Fulbright forward. Together, we are making a difference and fostering a culture where everyone can succeed.

My promotion to Director in this firm. That may seem somewhat superficial but while others had dreams of opening their own law firms or leaving practice, I’ve always known that I wanted to be a Director at a reputable law firm and all my actions and efforts have been geared towards that.
