Women Lawyers’ Professional Skill Enhancement Training


Beth Symes travelled to Kathmandu, Nepal in 2015 and 2017 to train women lawyers. The program is coordinated by Women Lawyers Joining Hands. Alongside experts in Nepal, Canada, Australia, France, Germany and the United States, Beth has developed and delivered training to approximately 60 Nepalese lawyers.

The participants reflect on the importance of the training not only in providing a skill sharing opportunity, but also in developing strategies to address sexism in the workplace.

Testimonials

"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ben Millard at Millard & Company Barristers and Solicitors. Before signing on to use his services he took the time to answer any and all questions we had so that we felt confident when choosing him to help us with our legal matter. Once we signed on, this did not change. He was always very quick to answer our questions or address our concerns. He was very quick to let us know our next moves and did not sit on anything which was well appreciated. Would recommend to anyone to use his services. Kind, courteous, and genuinely great person to deal with!"

"Within a day I was connected to Ben Millard and he walked me through the approach and compensation once he understood my circumstances. He negotiated a good deal and it was settled in less than three weeks (would have been faster except for summer holiday). He was always available for questions during the negotiation and will answer questions on any future contracts vis a vis the severance package. With Ben I know I got the best deal i could."

"This is the second occasion for me reaching out to Ben Millard for his employment related expertise. I greatly appreciate Ben’s clear and concise counsel. His ability to distill the relevant and important issues from all the “noise” makes working with him to be efficient and effective. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any employment law matters."
