Louise was appointed Chair of A&O’s women’s network, WiN, in November 2018, and was tasked with revitalising the network and formulating the shape and strategy of the committee. Since then, WiN has organized numerous successful events and seminars to promote gender equality in the firm, including collaboration with the Ministry of Justice, and discussion groups profiling recently promoted women partners to inspire junior women associates and to make male sponsor allies aware of the valuable role they play in this process. Louise was also involved in the development of a quarterly program to support and develop the careers of A&O’s junior women lawyers, is participating in a program aimed at supporting mid-level women lawyers, and has contributed to a paper presented to the board which helped shape the firm’s gender strategy and targets. Externally, Louise mentors diverse female students, is a champion for Women for Women International, and has helped co-ordinate donations with the Hygiene Bank among other causes.
