In this International Women’s Episode Special, we sit down with three female lawyers - Debby, Kimarie, and Seow Hui - to discuss their experiences working in the law industry.

As women in a traditionally male-dominated field, Debby, Kimarie, and Seow Hui share their insights on what it's like to navigate the challenges of being a female lawyer. From facing gender biases to balancing work and personal life, they discuss the unique struggles that women in law often encounter.

They also shed light on the positive aspects of their careers, including the satisfaction of helping clients and the sense of accomplishment that comes with winning cases. Additionally, they offer advice for aspiring female lawyers, including the importance of finding a mentor and the need to advocate for oneself.

This episode provides a glimpse into the experiences of women in the law industry and the ways in which they are striving to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace.
