The Challenges of Women in Big Law

This white paper sheds light on the ongoing systemic barriers within the legal profession and provides guidance for firms to cultivate a more inclusive workplace.

  • Only 17% of the managing and co-managing partners of the Top 200 law firms are women
  • 48% of Women in Big Law survey respondents saw themselves in the same firm on a partner track or had already made a partner
