About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

The career enhancer series is open to lawyers and business services professionals, looking to develop insights and grow their network in a collaborative environment.


If you have ever felt that lurking inner sense that you are a fraud (not in the financial sense!), beem filled with deep self-doubt, or worried that your success is down to luck rather than talent? Then it’s very possible you suffer from imposter syndrome. Many of the factors that heighten the risk of imposter syndrome developing – from perfectionist tendencies to high pressure environments – can be pretty common in the legal sector. So if your inner imposter is causing you to doubt yourself or downplay your credentials, you’re not alone. This workshop will explore the topic of imposter syndrome, de-bunking some myths along the way. And we will look at practical strategies you can introduce to keep the imposter at bay.

InterLaw Diversity Forum

The InterLaw Diversity Forum works to foster inclusion for all diverse talent working in the legal sector, and to promote meritocracy in all sectors by working to 'level the playing field' in order to create environments where the best talent can succeed.

Since its founding in 2008 the InterLaw Diversity Forum has expanded its scope beyond LGBT+ to encompass all strands of diversity and inclusion, including Race & Ethnicity (BAME), Disability, Gender, and social mobility, with a particular focus on cultural change in the workplace and 'multiple identities'/intersectionality.

​Events and membership are free and open to anyone working in the legal sector, both lawyers (including private practice and in-house counsel), as well as non-lawyers and business services staff.

InterLaw’s work can be broken down into four key pillars supporting: (1) diverse and disadvantaged individuals in the profession; (2) law firms, chambers and legal employers; (3) government and regulatory bodies; and (4) the wider community.

The InterLaw Diversity Forum currently has more than 8,500 members and supporters from over 300 law firms and chambers, and over 500 corporates and financial institutions.​

The InterLaw Diversity Forum is a volunteer-led and run as a not-for-profit.
