Law has certainly become a more welcoming field for women in recent years, but when looking at your options, do you know the best law firms for women?
We didn’t either until we saw the 2012 Best Law Firms for Women survey by Working Mother magazine and a company called Flex-Time Lawyers LLC. The unranked list of 50 firms offers some valuable insight into what makes a firm friendlier to women, and working mothers in particular.
The full list is a good resource for women just starting a legal career or looking to make a lateral transfer. But even if you aren’t working at one of these firms, you can still judge how friendly your office is to women (and attorneys with families in general) based on certain policies.
Here are five trends spotted in the Best Law Firms for Women survey:
