Bristol Law School Women’s network
The Bristol Law School Women's Network (BLSWN) provides a space to discuss current issues, a means of connecting law students and alumni, as well as an opportunity for members to share and gain useful insights to help them progress in their careers.
About us
The Bristol Law School Women's Network was set up by the members of the Law School Advisory Board (LSAB) Georgina Jones (LLB 1998, Partner, Sackers) and Naomi Buffery (LLB 2000, General Counsel for Europe, Greenhill & Co) and is open to all Bristol law students and graduates.
Primarily focusing on the promotion of women and the issues commonly faced by them in the workplace, the BLSWN also aims to tackle some of the broader issues that affect everyone working in the legal profession today, including career development and advancement; alternatives to partnership; work / life balance; challenges of parenthood and caring responsibilities; and leadership skills.
