Trailblazing property lawyer Lady Ruth Morris speaks at Israel Bonds
Legal expert who retired in 2017 after 60 years on the roll, spoke about 'sisterhood, mentoring and women’s empowerment'
Lady Ruth Morris of Kenwood recalled her 1960s battle to become one of the first female partners at her law firm at an Israel Bonds event in London last week.
The trailblazing property lawyer, who retired in October 2017 after 60 years on the roll, spoke about “sisterhood, mentoring and women’s empowerment” at the event hosted at the City offices of Israel’s Bank Leumi.
The Israel Bonds Women’s Division event was chaired by Jewish journalist Sandy Rashty and featured Justine Zwerling, head of Israel Primary Markets at the London Stock Exchange, and British Business Bank marketing director Rebecca Simon.
