? Ulaanbaatar: Madam Ivana Grollova ? the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Czech Republic to Mongolia ? participated in a panel discussion on overcoming societal and institutional obstacles to women's professional development, which was televised locally.
In addition, the Tokyo office held its inaugural Breaking Barriers event on 5 February, which was well-attended by female clients.
Breaking Barriers was established in 2009 in Hong Kong, and since then the platform has been expanded to other Asia and Middle East offices. Hogan Lovells is one of the very few international law firms with a highly structured women's initiative across the region, and this initiative truly drives home the diversity message of the firm in Asia and the Middle East.
In Mongolia specifically, we are the first global law firm to have sponsored an event dedicated to diversity and the advancement of women professionals, which was covered extensively by local media.
