As one of the largest law firms in the world, we are a fully integrated network of lawyers and legal professionals sharing one clear vision.
Women in Practice (WIP) is a great program for women at the firm. As a junior, it is extremely helpful to talk to women who have been where you are and ask them advice and about their experiences. Retention does seem to be an issue for the firm but this is for a variety of reasons. I think a big contributor is the lack of flexibility in some teams to work from home. It would be good to see initiatives such as child care at the firm, as I think it would create a more inclusive environment, and if it was subsidised it would be an amazing benefit to the firm and also help with retention.
I think they like to say they are diverse and respectful to the varied communities (women, ethic group, LGBTIQA+) but don't actually make any flexible adjustments for mothers at my level.
