For the first time ever, female solicitors have outnumbered male solicitors in Australia, with 53 per cent of them in every state and territory.
Research from Sydney-based firm Urbis recorded 83,643 practising solicitors in Australia as of October 2020. The new report was published by the Law Society of NSW on behalf of the Conference of Law Societies and shows that women have been joining the profession in rising numbers since the first National Profile was published in 2011.
Very proud of the work of the talented contributors and @LawSocietyNSW team that brought this idea to life. I hope all readers enjoy this special @naidocweek edition of the NSW Law Society Journal! pic.twitter.com/vGqK5yQzF5
