Nevett Ford Lawyers celebrates International Women’s Day 2025

In celebration of International Women’s Day last 8 March 2025, Nevett Ford team members joined several events, recognizing the significance of women in the workforce, especially in the legal field.

Last 13 March 2025, Nevett Ford also hosted an International Women’s day Lunch and Panel Discussion about the United Nations (UN) Theme: Accelerate Action for Gender Equality, with guest facilitator, Lorraine Jennings, who is a strong advocate for diversity in global mobility.

The panel discussion touched on practical examples that injustice or inequality could occur in and outside the workplace and how the businesses could support women to show up as their whole selves. The discussion also ventured into practical steps our male counterparts could demonstrate ally ship.

In other events, team members from Nevett Ford joined the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) Victoria & CEW’s International Women’s day Luncheon held at RACV City Club last 6 March 2025. This event was dedicated to advancing gender equality in the workplace, with the theme March Forward: It’s Time to Turn Promises Into Progress. It was brought together by an impressive panel of leaders who shared their insights and experiences on fostering equity and inclusion.
