Lawyers at Clyde & Co will be given tools to help them raise their profiles over the next year following the launch of a new initiative.
It will include training in social media, on camera interview technique, presentation skills, writing for offline and online audiences, creating a personal brand, and effective networking.
The global law firm is offering the programme to men and women but it will be particularly promoted to female lawyers, who despite making up 46% of the lawyer population and 25% of partners at Clyde, only account for 20% of external spokespeople quoted in the media.
Liz Jenkins, partner and the newest member of the Global Management Board, says that women sometimes hold back from self-promotion and brand-building opportunities.
“What we want to do with this programme is to challenge the status quo and provide all our lawyers, but especially our female lawyers, with training to help them develop the skills to promote their expertise and the business confidently and professionally,” she said.
As part of the initiative, and in the run up to International Women's Day on 8 March 2019, Clyde & Co will also seek to involve female spokespersons in as many media interviews as possible.
