Allen & Overy’s (A&O’s) senior partner David Morley and global HR director Genevieve Tennant are meeting on Monday (19 May) to consider introducing a 20% female partnership target by 2020 as part of the firm’s long term approach to bolstering its female partner numbers.
The meeting follows an internal email sent by Tennant to partners stating that the Magic Circle firm, where 15% of partners are currently women, is looking to improve its gender balance by crystalising its ambitions in the ‘20% or higher’ 2020 target.
