Kudos to Littler Mendelson and Lewis Brisbois

Kudos to Littler Mendelson and Lewis Brisbois for being the firms most willing to hire and promote female attorneys.

An American Lawyer survey of large law firms across the nation found that Littler Mendelson had the greatest percentage of female lawyers and partners (43.9 percent women lawyers and 29 percent women partners). (ABA Journal)

Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith came in second in the nation for percentage of female lawyers and partners (42.7 percent women lawyers and 26.7 percent women partners). (ABA Journal)

Way to open the boys club to the fairer sex Littler and LB!

  2. A national women's magazine (Working Mothers) published something like this in 2007 and I think their 2008 one is out.

    I'm curious which of those firms has a Vegas office?

  3. The only firms on the Working Mothers list in Vegas are:
    Armstrong Teasdale and
    Duane Morris

    Both are relatively small offices

  4. I wonder if anyone will ever stop to ask if adding more and more women to the legal profession has done anything at all to make the profession in any way better.
