Working Mother Media has issued its annual report on the best law firms for women, each recognized for taking gender gap issues and diversity seriously. (Working Mother Media)
One hundred firms took part, with one of the weightiest elements being the number of female equity partners at a given firm. The national average is 18 percent for legal organizations in the U.S. It’s 20 percent for those on the Working Mother list.
Notably, 38 percent of Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz, a New York City-based firm’s equity partners is women. Women hold 75 percent of the spots on the management committee.
At San Francisco-based Hanson Bridgett, women make up 37 percent of equity partner roles and 26 percent of the non-equity slots.
And there’s especially good news for female lawyers in Atlanta. Ten of the top 50 have Atlanta offices. (See the Atlanta list @ Daily Report.)
