Women in Law Leadership
Countless women have made great strides in earning law degrees and securing entry level positions upon graduation.
Yet, it’s evident that we are still a long way from gender parity in leadership. Women make up only:
30%
non-equity partners
28%
of general counsel in the Fortune 500
