“Ladies in Law Luxembourg Association” (Lilla) was launched on Tuesday by law firm Allen & Overy to bring together women from the legal sector together.

“We are opening Lilla not only to all women lawyers in Luxembourg but also to all those who practice as a lawyers without bar qualification, who work in human resources and roles which support all functions related to the legal sector in Luxembourg who wish to bring forward a common project,” senior associate at Allen & Overy and president of the association Marine Tarditi said.

Lilla is the first organisation of its kind in Luxembourg and is built on the founding principles of exchange, creating a professional network and rising together.

In future, the organisation plans to host events, workshops and seminars as part of its mission.
