| Jennifer is committed to the leadership track and loves her career and company. She has two kids and loves being a mom and her life is set up to accommodate family and career. When I met her, she was torn, but leaning toward leaving her firm for another offer. But, unlike many others, her company didn’t lose her to a "better offer."
We lose too many female lawyers and we lose them when they have been trained, gained experience, and become most valuable. ABAforLawStudents.com reports that there are now 1.1 women in law school for each man. In the world of hospitality real estate, for every woman who is a Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel there are 3.2 men as of 2019, according to the Castell Project report "Women in Hospitality Industry Leadership 2020" (free to download at www.CastellProject.org). For comparison, there are now 2.8 male Fortune 500 general counsels for each female.
The pace of change for women has been slower among employed attorneys than in law schools and Jennifer’s story illustrates part of the reason. |
