Dentons to support two women’s awards in Scotland

Amanda Jones

The firm is a headline sponsor for the forthcoming Business Women Scotland and Women’s Enterprise Scotland Awards 2018 and will also be sponsoring an award category at the Scottish Women in Sport Annual Awards 2018.

Dentons’ involvement in these two awards events follows the firm’s recent appointment of Scottish partner Amanda Jones as its first-ever women’s advancement director.

In this new role, Ms Jones focuses on the development and progression of women lawyers to partner and leadership positions.

Ms Jones said: “It is a privilege to be supporting these awards and celebrating the achievements of women in Scotland. These awards recognise the contributions made by women to boost Scotland’s economy and level the playing field – so to speak – in sport.

“They are helping to raise awareness, change perceptions, and generate further opportunities for Scottish women – something we are very pleased to get behind. We wish all the nominees the best of luck.”
