Charles Russell Speechlys celebrates female entrepreneurs at the first Women in Leadership event

We are delighted to have welcomed female founders, advisers and investors to our Empowering Female Entrepreneurs event, hosted by Corporate Partner Rebecca Burford at AllBright on 17 November.

The evening featured a fantastic panel of guest speakers from Buzzacott, BYBI Beauty, and Bubble; each of whom shared their experiences and insight into obtaining investment for early stage businesses.

Charles Russell Speechlys is committed to addressing gender imbalance at leadership level. Spearheaded by Corporate team members Rebecca Burford, Sarah Wigington, Grace Hudson and Caroline Carter, this event is the first in a series that seeks to learn about and tackle the barriers faced by women both inside and outside of the firm.
