Launch | Legal Alliance for Gender Equity

To promote professional development, empowerment, and leadership among women practitioners, BMA and 12 other full-service law firms in Brazil joined forces to launch the Aliança Jurídica pela Equidade de Gênero (Legal Alliance for Gender Equity), which will direct special attention to supporting Black women, women of the LGBTQAIPN+ community, and women with disabilities.

The initiative will foster collaborative efforts among the law firms, focusing on raising awareness and literacy, combating unconscious biases, engaging male allies, exchanging experiences, and sharing best practices. This is a strong commitment by the firms in the Alliance to creating equitable and inclusive work environments for all women.

BMA partners and associates were present at the launch. Participants included Barbara Rosenberg, who moderated the panel on “Challenges Faced by Women in Corporate Law,” along with Fernanda Tanure, Camila Chouzal, Jane Goldman Nusbaum, Maria da Paz, Vivian Casanova, Ana Paula Reis, Letícia Pelisson, Camila Paoletti, Maria Sampaio, and Gabriela dos Santos Cardoso.

Leadership and professional development are at the core of BMA Women. In addition to playing a strategic role in the firm’s policy, BMA Women takes on initiatives that contribute to an equal opportunity environment. We take pride in the fact that women represent 58% of the BMA team, and 40% of our partners.

We are committed to gender equity and we are confident that the Legal Alliance for Gender Equity will be a significant catalyst.
