Description:
How can a woman become a mother and a top lawyer at the same time and how does she, as a feminist, hold her own in the Zuidas? Mirjam de Blécourt, partner and former board member at law firm Baker McKenzie, has been voted the best female employment lawyer in Europe on several occasions. That success did not come easy. If there is anyone who knows how to break through the glass ceiling, it is her. In Vrijgevochten, Mirjam opens up about herself: her free youth, her student days and her goal-oriented path to the top in combination with motherhood. She talks candidly about her motivations, insecurities and other struggles. What do you need to turn ambition into success? Her method: shout out what you want to achieve, men do that too. Get out from behind that desk and show that you are there. Vrijgevochten is an inspiring story with tools for everyone who wants to reach the top - any top. Mirjam de Blécourt (1964) grew up in Bilthoven and studied civil and tax law in Leiden. She has been an international partner at Baker McKenzie since 2002 and heads the leading employment law section. She is always at the negotiating table when mass layoffs occur. De Blécourt has been committed to diversity and equal treatment of women for years. She is currently chair of the supervisory board at Rutgers. She is also on the candidate list for the Senate and in the Volkskrant Top 200 of most influential Dutch people.
