Ireland’s Women in Finance Charter underpins the Financial Services industry’s ambition to see increased participation of women at all levels, including junior, middle and senior management, leadership and board roles within Financial Services organisations based in Ireland. The Charter sets out clear principles to support the progression of women, encouraging organisations to set and achieve meaningful gender diversity targets.

By signing the Charter, we are reinforcing our dedication to fostering more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces.

Dara Harrington, Partner and Head of our Finance Group, commented “As legal advisers to the Financial Services industry, we see first-hand the importance of diverse perspectives in driving innovation and decision-making. By signing the Charter, we are making a commitment to advancing gender balance both within our own firm and across the sector.”

Louise O’Byrne, Employment Partner and one of our EDI Partners, said “Improving gender diversity in Financial Services is not just the right thing to do – it strengthens businesses and leads to better outcomes. We are proud to support Ireland’s Women in Finance Charter and will continue to drive meaningful change within our firm and the wider industry.”

Aisling McNiffe, Financial Services Ireland (Ibec) and member of the Women in Finance Steering Group, also commented “We are delighted to have Arthur Cox sign the Women in Finance Charter. Achieving gender balance in Financial Services requires strong leadership and collective action. By becoming a signatory, Arthur Cox is demonstrating its commitment to a building a more inclusive sector where women can thrive.  I would encourage more firms based in Ireland to sign up to the Charter.”

As part of our commitment, we will track progress on gender diversity and actively participate in initiatives to support the goals of the Charter.
