Why a room

Women in Partnership

Law firms want more women in partnership and in leadership, and so do the partners we speak to. In confidence, those partners also tell us what they find hard to raise inside their own firm: being the only woman at the table, putting full value on their following, returning from maternity leave, caring for a parent, or managing menopause or IVF alongside the role. This is a group of peers who recognise all of it straight away.


It's run by Becky Morgan, Bridget Hougham and Sadie Walker, Hydrogen's legal partner team. The same team works with managing partners and heads of integration across London's firms on how they hire and support partners, and will take the themes raised here into those conversations, always anonymised. An issue one partner might never raise alone reaches the people who set firm policy as a view shared by many.

Off the record

What's What's said here stays here.


Nothing gets repeated outside the group. What you take back to your own firm is up to you.

Your topics, raised for you


Anonymously if you'd rather. Message Becky, Bridget or Sadie and they'll put it to the group on your behalf.

No pitch, ever

Nobody here gets sold a job.


We get everyone in the room and then stay out of the way. If you ever want to talk about a move, you know where we are.

Catch up any time


Sessions are shared afterwards. We only record the speakers. The open discussion stays between the people in the room.

The difference

Where we go further

Typical women's networking events


Most women's networking events are built around a panel and a drinks reception. Good for visibility, less so for an honest conversation about what partnership actually takes.

Women in Partnership


A neutral, safe space with no strings attached. You leave with a contact, an idea, or a plan for your next conversation with your partnership committee.

The first members are the ones who set the tone


We're opening with a small founding group before we open this more widely. If you'd rather talk it through first, reply to Becky directly, otherwise apply below and we'll set up a call.
