Angelika Hellweger Shares her Experiences of being a Woman Working in White-Collar Crime and Disputes

Angelika Hellweger was asked to detail the most notable aspects of her career as a female white-collar crime and disputes lawyer.

The global business magazine CIOLook questioned Angelika about her experiences of working in what is still a male-dominated landscape.

In the resulting article, Angelika explains that when she started out as an associate she did not notice much difference in how she was treated compared to her male colleagues. But she says this started to change as she advanced in her career.

She outlines how she was given less time to talk in meetings, was often interrupted or unfairly criticised when speaking up, and was often overlooked for high-profile cases. But she details how she addressed these issues and offers advice for other aspiring female professionals.
