Although women comprise nearly half of all law students and
incoming associates at law firms, and have done so for many years,
they remain greatly outnumbered by men at senior levels. If nothing
is done to change this trend, the percentage of women equity
partners will remain under 20 percent for decades to come. Slow
progress in gender equality at senior roles raises awkward
questions for the industry - and highlights the challenges that
women lawyers face when developing their careers. Indeed, at
mid-career, when earnings peak, the top 10 percent of female
lawyers earn more than $300,000 a year, while the top 10 percent of
male lawyers earn more than $500,000. Coupled with this, the number
of female equity partners at top US law firms has risen by only
five percent in the last 12 years. Although women comprise 47
percent of associate ranks at law firms, female lawyers make up
only 31 percent of those entering the equity partnership class.
This book is for women, by women - to help female lawyers progress
their careers in an industry still struggling with gender equality.
Written by outstanding women lawyers in their respective fields,
each contribution takes a personal and professional view of the
legal sector, providing insight and analysis of issues as diverse
as flexible working, portfolio careers, unconscious bias and the
modern career trajectory. The book is split into four sections, and
begins with the results of original research undertaken by ARK
Group in early 2019. Surveying 100 women lawyers from across the
globe, we asked women at all stages in their careers to open up
about their experiences, from recruitment to retirement, and the
challenges - and opportunities - that being female has brought. The
results make for interesting, and perhaps surprising, reading.
