Thought Leadership

In our recent webinar, a panel of female industry professionals joined Laura Leopard, CEO of Leopard Solutions, to delve deeper into the results of the women working in the Top 200 survey and discuss the opportunities and obstacles facing today's women attorneys.

Listen in on the afterparty podcast on the recent The Challenges of Women in Big Law webinar, whereby the esteemed panelists continued the discussion by exposing women’s challenges and spotlighting areas where they have been able to excel. What are the top 200 firms doing to support gender equality, and how can they help level the playing field for women against their male counterparts?

At many legal conferences, you can usually bet that you will see a session on ‘Moneyball for Law Firms’. Yet, no one is really playing the game. To assess how well your recruitment is doing, you need reliable data and an understanding of the costs of recruitment. Onboarding entry-level hires are expensive and time-consuming, as are lateral hires. If they don’t stay, it costs your firm wasted time and future earnings you believed that associate would bring to your organization. Leopard Solutions analyzed the cost of hiring and provide insights on where the value of hiring could be.

Listen in on the afterparty podcast on the recent 2022 State of the Legal Industry webinar, whereby the esteemed panelists continued the discussion on topics such as lateral and entry level hires, attorney exits and retention, promotions, law firm growth and decline, diversity changes within the industry, and more.
