This summer, the 2018 Working Mother 60 Best Law Firms for Women list was released. For the past eleven years, the list has recognized those law firms leading the industry in helping to advance and support the careers of women lawyers. Law firms around the country are selected after completing an application that includes more than 300 questions about workforce representation, time-off and leave, childcare, flexibility, percent of women in leadership, compensation and advancement of women, and development and retention of women. Among the firms listed, women account for 20 percent of all equity partners. Factors considered included advancing women in business and career advancement, while offering flexible work arrangements, generous paid parental leave, among other important benefits.
On October 26, those law firms that received the honor will be recognized in Chicago at the Working Mother Gala Awards Luncheon. The event will host approximately 200 attorneys and legal professionals from around the country. Additionally, general counsel from the Working Mother Best Companies list will also be in attendance.
This event recognizes those firms that create and use best practices in retaining and promoting women lawyers. Congratulations to all the law firms that have earned a place on the 2018 Working Mother Best Law Firms for Women list!
