It is very important for the advocacy to invest in their high potential lawyers to make sure they develop the qualities which are needed to become a successful lawyer/partner.

OSR Legal Education has developed a unique International Women Leadership Programme (IWLP) in close cooperation with the best law firms of Europe. This means that the programme is linked to daily practice and that participants have the opportunity to create their own effective network.
