We believe diversity and inclusion is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all industry sectors. Women make up more than half the population of the world yet have long been overlooked as a vital talent resource that contributes to economic growth and prosperity. Prime Dispute will ask the questions both of established economies/emerging markets and support industry in recognising the leadership women can provide. 
NEW ERA /
Asking and answering the toughest questions women face within industry today
CREATORS FOR CHANGE 
How do we achieve diversity and inclusion in the field of dispute avoidance, management and resolution? Why are women employees not advancing in the same way as their male counterparts? How do we accelerate the roles of Women within industry? these are just some of the questions we will be asking. 
PLEDGE FOR INCLUSION OF WOMEN IN THE PROFESSION
There are women of all ages and abilities wanting to be a part of our future and we must make sure we don’t waste any more time in not addressing this issue. Prime Dispute is making a commitment to work together to build a more balanced and fair industry for women.

"It can be argued that there has never been a better time to be a woman contemplating a career in dispute avoidance and resolution. With Industry pushing for change and a range of initiatives in place to develop women as they progress through their careers, the dispute avoidance and resolution sector looks a world apart from the place in which some of the more senior women began their careers".
