Hughes Paddison Supports International Women's Day 2026
This year’s International Women's Day theme, #GiveToGain, highlights a powerful idea: when we give support, opportunity and encouragement, we create the conditions for everyone to thrive.
At Hughes Paddison, that message resonates strongly with our values and our day-to-day work.
Across the firm, our team members have taken the #GiveToGain pose in recognition of the campaign and in solidarity with the global effort to challenge gender bias and promote equality. It’s a simple gesture, but it represents something meaningful – a commitment to creating opportunities and supporting the next generation of legal professionals.
Leading by example
We are proud to be a firm that actively demonstrates its commitment to equality. With Jane Brothwood as Managing Director and 66% of our partners being female, Hughes Paddison reflects the progress being made within the legal profession.
Visibility matters. When aspiring solicitors and trainees see women in senior leadership and partnership roles, it reinforces an important message: reaching the top of the profession is not defined by gender.
Giving to the next generation
The spirit of Give to Gain is reflected in the way we support our trainees and developing lawyers.
We believe in giving our people the tools they need to succeed through:
- Support and mentoring
- Access to knowledge and experience
- Guidance throughout their legal training
- Opportunities to grow and develop their careers
By investing time, experience and encouragement, we aim to inspire confidence in the next generation of legal professionals and help them reach their full potential.
Giving to our clients
The same approach underpins how we work with our clients every day. We believe the most effective legal support comes from giving our clients the clarity and confidence they need when navigating complex situations.
We give through our:
- Integrity
- Advice
- Experience
- Knowledge
- Guidance
- Empowerment
- Fairness
- Advocacy
What we gain
When we invest in people – whether colleagues or clients – we gain something just as valuable in return.
We nurture a dedicated and hardworking team that we are extremely proud of. Our colleagues are deeply committed to delivering the highest standards of service and to supporting clients with the information and reassurance they need to make important decisions during challenging moments in their lives.
When women thrive, everyone benefits
International Women’s Day reminds us that progress is built through collective action. By sharing knowledge, offering support and championing opportunity, we can help create a more inclusive and supportive profession for everyone.
At Hughes Paddison, we believe that when we give, we truly gain.
