What can all lawyers learn from the experiences of women who create their own spaces in the law?
The challenges women can face at traditional law firms are well known: pay gaps, burnout, glass ceilings. But what happens when women decide to build something different? And what can all lawyers learn from their experiences?

Aneka Jiwaji co-founded Jiwaji Law, a corporate advisory and litigation firm in Vancouver, with her sister Afshaan.
