Why Does The Lawyer (UK) Still Think That Law Firm Leadership Is Entirely A Male Preserve

In a week where we have run stories about 3 women taking up major leadership roles at international law firms we wonder what goes through the head of people producing this marketing in 2017.

We presume The Lawyer have also run pieces about Denise Yong, Pamela Thompson & Tricia Hobson and their new roles at Reed Smith, Eversheds & Norton Rose respectively.

So,  why on earth are they running an ad that looks like this.

A firm manly handshake, a male lion ( yes we get it , leader of the pride blah blah blah) and then we have to have the male torso at the height of his powers, yawn !
