AmLaw - Bad Economy: A Boon for Women Lawyers?

By Kat

Reporting on an event marking the 2009 edition of 'Working Mother' magazine's "50 Best Law Firms for Women," AmLaw Daily is questioning whether the recession has been a means to bring about change for women in the legal profession.

AmLaw concludes: "It's optimistic to believe that most large law firms are rethinking the work/life balance equation during these hard times."  The article then goes on to say: "From where we sit, covering women in the profession for almost a decade, we don't see a revolution on the horizon. That said, increasingly--albeit slowly--some women have been able to stake out a viable career while fashioning their own flex-time arrangements. It's not a revolution, but a steady trickle."
