How do you support your female co-workers? What does it take to reach gender equality in the legal industry? And did you ever feel you had to fight harder for reaching your goals than your male colleagues had to?
We asked Andjelka Todorović and Adelina Iftime-Blagean these and other questions to learn about their personal experiences on working and growing their legal practice in connection with gender equality in the legal industry.
Andjelka is a qualified Serbian attorney-at-law and has worked on some of the most high-profile energy and infrastructure projects in Serbia, often being one of only few women on the project. Adelina heads the Romanian employment practice, a team which predominantly consists of female lawyers and has worked on countless international transactions.
