Female empowerment and the significance of diversity in the world of law firms   On 6 March, SZA Schilling, Zutt & Anschütz hosted Dr. Stefanie Becker from LUB Mannheim for a keynote speech on the topic of "Female Empowerment" - and the timing couldn't be better. International Women's Day reminds us how important it is to promote equal opportunities and diversity at work.   The keynote provided insights such as: ◾ Drivers of and Benefits for Diversity - Why diversity is crucial in law firms today ◾ Unconscious Biases - Reflecting on the inner perceptions of attorneys and their implications ◾ Empowerment Strategies - How women can strengthen themselves and enhance their position in the industry ◾ Diversity as Value for All - Why an inclusive work environment benefits not only women but everyone in the firm After all, female empowerment is not only a question of equal opportunities, but also a driver of innovation and success.

Just came across the "Women, Business and the Law 2024" report and wow, it’s a must-read! The report reveals the stark reality of the legal and systemic barriers still faced by women in business across 190 economies. It’s shocking that, on average, women have just two-thirds of the legal rights of men. As someone who's built businesses in the beauty industry, I've seen firsthand how leveling the playing field can unleash creativity and drive growth. How can we turn these insights into action to create more women entrepreneurs? #WomenInBusiness #EconomicEmpowerment #BusinessLeadership #GenderEquality

Join us in celebrating International Women's Day! At MLH Law, we're proud to be an all-women law firm. Today, we celebrate the incredible achievements and contributions of women around the world. On March 15, we will be hosting MLH Law's 2nd Annual International Women's Day Celebration to commemorate this special day. This year's theme, "Inspire Inclusion," resonates deeply with us. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion we're building a better world that's more diverse and free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. But it's not just about others including women; it's also about women themselves feeling empowered to be included. When women feel a sense of belonging and relevance, there's no limit to what we can achieve. Together, let's continue to inspire inclusion and forge a future where every woman feels empowered, valued, and included. Happy International Women's Day! #InternationalWomensDay #InspireInclusion #MLHLaw

I couldn't be more excited to collaborate with the amazing women of the BVCC Women's Success Network AND the other Facilitators of this virtual Masterclass Series in celebration of International Women's Day and their theme: Inspire Inclusion.

In a field as challenging and competitive as patent law, the greatest battle we often face is with our own self-doubt. As women in IP, we navigate not just the complexities of our profession but also the subtle pressures of an environment that historically skewed away from gender parity. Yet, what if we chose to see ourselves through a lens of unwavering confidence? What if the voice that matters most isn't the external one, but our own internal affirmations? Embracing this mindset has been transformative for me. It's about recognizing that the most profound influence comes from how we view ourselves, not how others perceive us. Our thought life has so much influence over how we view ourselves. And the wonderful thing about this awareness is that it is completely within our control to change. We never have to rely on anybody else for our sense of self-worth. So today, I challenge you to look in the mirror and acknowledge your power and influence in your own life. Realize that you are capable, deserving, and already successful. Let's commit to being the champions of our own stories. #WomenInIP #SelfEmpowerment #PatentLaw #ConfidenceInLaw
