Episode 17: Equity and Diversity: A Bencher's Perspective

In this episode, we are honoured to be joined by Gaynor Yeung, who is a Director at Whitelaw Twining and was recently re-elected as a Bencher. Called to the bar in 1996, Gaynor shares with us what equity and diversity (E&D) means to her, some potential steps to improve E&D in the BC bar, and how she thinks the legal community has progressed over the years. In this episode, Gaynor also candidly shares her experience in and enthusiasm for making a difference to encourage racialized and non-racialized lawyers to promote E&D in the legal profession.
