Sherwin O’Riordan Celebrates International Women’s Day

To mark the day, the firm has implemented a number of initiatives to celebrate women and its female employees. Among the activities planned is a profile campaign of their female employees, which includes an IWD e-zine and Q&A with some of the firms’ key female employees. The firm will also host a breakfast morning for clients with a talk from Beoga Nutrition. In addition, this week each of their clients is to receive a celebratory IWD card.

The theme for International Women’s Day 2020 is “Each for Equal” – something which Sherwin O’Riordan LLP is actively striving towards. The firm, which has 60% female employees, is constantly working towards higher standards of gender equality, diversity and inclusion.

Commenting on the initiative, James Sherwin, Managing Partner at Sherwin O’Riordan LLP said; “for us International Women’s Day is not just a one-day celebration, but a year-round initiative. Within our own workplace, Sherwin O’Riordan LLP is an equal opportunities employer, championing equality, providing flexibility, and offering realistic work/life balance. Our female staff range from Partner, Senior Associate, and Solicitors to trainee solicitors and legal executive roles. We are proud that women comprise over 60% of our team, all of whom play an integral role in the success of the business.”

He added; “The gender tables are being turned in the legal profession, with the majority of solicitors now female. In 2014, we became the first legal profession in the world to have a female majority. Once a career largely dominated by men, new figures published by the Law Society reveal 52% of practising solicitors are now women.”

Established in 2002, Sherwin O’Riordan LLP is a firm of highly experienced solicitors with speciality and expertise in advising growing SMEs in Ireland on commercial and business law, employment, commercial litigation and dispute resolution and commercial property.
