Arthur Cox took home three awards at the Euromoney Europe Women in Business Law awards ceremony in London for its efforts to ensure the advancement of women in the legal profession.

The firm was nominated in eleven categories, the highest number of nominations for any Irish firm, and eventually triumphed in Best National Firm, Best Firm in Ireland and Best National Firm Mentoring Programme.

Brian O’Gorman, managing partner of Arthur Cox, said: “These accolades are a great achievement that recognise our long-standing commitment to diversity.

“The retention and promotion of women lawyers within Arthur Cox is a key strategic priority for us as a firm.

“Not only to be recognised at a country level but also at a European level is testament to the ambitious diversity initiatives of our firm and everyone at the firm who spearheads them.”

The firm was shortlisted in the categories of Best Gender Diversity Initiative by a National Firm, Best National Firm for Work-Life Balance and Best National Firm for Pro Bono Work.

Individual women partners in the firm were nominated in six categories: Best in Financial Regulation, Product Liability, Corporate Governance, Insurance & Reinsurance, Investment Funds and Mergers & Acquisitions.
