Retention of Women in Law - An Opportunity for Fogler Rubinoff LLP
In the "Before Times" in 2020, I attended the Women in Law Summit, hosted by Canadian Lawyer magazine. The purpose of the conference was to focus on practical strategies that law firm leaders can employ to help attract and retain female lawyers. My biggest take away from the conference is that law firms and law firm leaders want to support women in law but there are still lots of questions, with no simple answers, about how to make this happen.
