Society of Women Lawyers to inaugurate its India Chapter

Priti Suri, Partner at Priti Suri & Associates has been appointed as the President of Society of Women Lawyers-India, a platform for women lawyers to come together within India, which will have its official launch in November 2010. Priti Suri said, “The presence of women in the legal profession has often been met with challenges and bias, possibly based on biology. Committed to inclusion, empowerment and advancement of women lawyers in India, SOWL will enable women legal professionals to come together and work on their challenges in the rapidly changing legal landscape of India. It will be a platform to discuss issues, problems, share experiences, and find solutions that work. We hope that SOWL will become the soul of the women legal fraternity. As SOWL will mature, we intend to collaborate with other international bodies to see how we can cross-pollinate ideas because some problems transcend geographical barriers”.
