The ‘M’ Word

Mountford Chambers is pleased to host The ‘M’ Word, an open discussion on menopause, wellbeing and supporting women in the workplace.

Menopause can have a significant impact on women’s health, wellbeing and working lives, yet it remains a subject that is not always openly discussed in professional environments.

This event will bring together perspectives from the medical profession, the judiciary and the Bar, providing an opportunity for an open and informative conversation around menopause and the ways in which women can be better supported in the workplace.

We are delighted to be joined by:

Bozzie Sheffi, Mountford Chambers – sharing a personal perspective on menopause and how it can affect women’s experiences at the Bar.

HHJ Samantha Leigh – sharing her perspective and experiences of menopause in the workplace, including observations from the judiciary and how women can be better supported.

Dr Nicola Keay – a medical expert with a specialist interest in female hormones and health, who will discuss the medical aspects of menopause, including its potential impact on health, wellbeing and working life.

The evening will be informal and welcoming, with refreshments provided.

Date: Wednesday 21 October 2026
Time: 6:00pm–7:30pm
Venue: Mountford Chambers, 13 Ely Place, London EC1N 6RY

The event is open to all and free to attend.
