I am proud to announce that I'm now a member of SheResolves℠! As a passionate advocate for women's visibility and voice in the legal profession, especially in ADR, this is a significant step in practice. We are a dominant force in law school classrooms yet remain underrepresented in leadership, particularly in areas like mediation and arbitration. SheResolves is on a mission to change this. Diversity in ADR is more than a benefit; it's a necessity. The choice of a neutral is critical. A diverse range of neutrals means more opportunities for people to connect with someone who GENUINELY grasps their perspective. Being part of SheResolves isn't just about my professional journey; it's about forging a path for more inclusive, empathetic dispute resolution. Here's to making meaningful change, one mediation at a time. #litigationlawyer #mediationservices #conflictmanagement

Empowering Legal Careers Through Strategic Placements | Founder of Onward Recruiting | Transforming the Legal Landscape One Opportunity at a Time
For the first time in history, women now represent the majority of associates in U.S. law firms. This historic achievement underscores the resilience and progress of women in the legal field. However, the journey doesn't end here. We continue to advocate for increased representation at all levels of the profession. Discover more about this milestone in our latest post. #WomenInLaw #DiversityInLaw #OnwardRecruiting
The latest NALP Report on Diversity in U.S. Law Firms reveals a significant milestone: women now constitute the majority of associates in U.S. law firms for the first time in history. This achievement, 153 years in the making, is a testament to the resilience and determination of women in the legal profession. While we celebrate this progress, we must also acknowledge the persistent underrepresentation of women and people of color at the partnership level. Women comprise just 27.76% of all partners, and partners of color account for only 12.01%. These disparities underscore the urgent need for continued efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable legal landscape. At Onward Recruiting, we are committed to being part of the solution. We actively partner with law firms that prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion, recognizing that diverse teams foster innovation, enhance decision-making, and drive superior results for clients. Join us in celebrating the achievements of women in law and recommitting to the work that lies ahead. Together, we can shape a future where every lawyer, regardless of gender or race, can reach their full potential and contribute to the success of our profession.

13 of the nation’s largest law firms now have partnerships that are more than 40% female – up from just one five years ago – as firms make steady progress towards gender equity targets. 📈 The latest data from The Australian Financial Review Law Partnership Survey – sponsored by the UNSW Law & Justice – shows 49.5% of new partner appointments were women, who now make up 35.2% of the partner cohort at the top 50 firms. Anna Sutherland, Joint Managing Partner for Disputes at Herbert Smith Freehills, said transparent promotion assessments were an important part of ensuring more women were elevated to firms’ upper echelons. Danielle Kelly, Head of Culture and Inclusion at Herbert Smith Freehills, said was set to hit full partnership parity by 2030, but the firm remains outside the 40% target set by many firms. Ashurst (44%), Allens (40.3%) and Gilbert + Tobin (40.2%) are the only major firms to have reached that point. https://lnkd.in/e7Hyt2TW #LegalTech #Law #Legal

Happy March! Today is the first day of Women's History Month. As a woman-owned firm, we are proud to celebrate women and their stellar accomplishments. “Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you” - Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a shining example of the strength of women. Ms. Ginsburg graduated first in her class at Columbia Law School, she was a member of both the Columbia Law Review as well as Harvard Law Review, she battled and won the sexism she personally faced in her life and helped other women do the same, and she bettered the lives of women (and men) with her work on discrimination. She is the personification of strength. Be like Ruth. . . . #TheParkmanLawFirm #freeconsultation #consultation #construction #constructionlaw #constructionlitigation #business #businesslaw #wageandhour #humanresources #hr #law #legal #litigation #transactional #lawyer #attorney #help #aid #lawfirm #sandiego #scrippsranch #california #ca #RBG #Women #WomensHistoryMonth #PowerfulWomen #WomeninLaw The materials in this post are for general information purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice, legal opinion or any other advice on any specific facts or circumstances.
