Here's a link to my article, "Progress and Potential," featured in the Best Lawyers Spring 2023 Business Edition of Women in the Law (https://lnkd.in/g34vKYeb) where both of these reports are discussed in more detail, along with some ideas to harness the opportunities to rethink traditional practice models.
