NZ Law News - MERW chair featured in NZ Business Herald
LawFuel - The Law Jobs and Legal NewsWire
21 May 2010 - Women now head two of the country's biggest law firms. Happy coincidence, or a sign of real change?
The Business Herald today examines the fact that two major law firms, including Minter Ellison Rudd Watts, are headed by women and if that could be a sign of real change in the “conservative world of New Zealand law, where women still account for a paltry 17 per cent of partners in private practice?” (Refer: LawFuel survey).
The article includes interviews with Minter Ellison Rudd Watts partner and chair Cathy Quinn.
She tells Gill South that she has some brilliant women lawyers on her team, some of them working flexibly while continuing their career at a high level.
The article also quotes Judge Susan Thomas, a former Minter Ellison Rudd Watts partner and District Court judge in Auckland.
In March of this year, Cathy Quinn was named as the 2010 winner of the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award.
The Award pays tribute to female achievers in business and industry around the globe, who exemplify the qualities of Madame Clicquot, the entrepreneurial woman behind the successful champagne house Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin.
