The Equity Project Study

The Equity Project incentivizes women lawyers to seek out opportunities to take risk and law firms to support those women using Burford’s capital. The 2020 Equity Project study seeks to understand how clients are leveraging their economic influence to close the gender gap in law. The report is based on one-on-one telephone interviews with over 75 general counsel and senior in-house lawyers at large companies (median revenue of $8b) in 12 countries. The interviews were conducted by independent analyst Ari Kaplan between March 23 and May 1, 2020.
