Holding Redlich’s Post

100% agree with Daralyn that a lot of this is on the clients. Recently at a conference, “someone” (Chatham House rules) offered a provocative question as to why any in-house counsel would ever hire a female IP litigator given these lists. My thought was, well, in the last 12 months, I had a 100% female team achieve a full defense trial victory for me, and a 100% male team get dinged by a 9-digit damages verdict. So there’s that. And let me offer a slight suggestion that more can and must be done across the pipeline. Yes, clients must hire better. And firms must promote, support, and encourage better. And courts can play a part in a more intentional way. And we should all please stop supporting the proliferation of all these stupid vanity lists (clients don’t care. See above). And while we’re at it, we should kill the billable hour and all the evil metrics tied to it (woe to you, realization rate!).

Like many human problems, gender equity in your law firm is multi-layered and complex. And what works in your firm won't work the same, if at all, in the firm on the floor below. A human-centered approach recognizes this complexity by starting with understanding the needs, wants, feelings, and goals of women and those who support them across roles in the firm. #designthinking #humancenteredlawfirm #legaldesignthinking #designingforequity #genderequality #womenattorneys #equitablelawfirm #equitableworkplace #genderequityinlaw #lawfirmgenderequality 📌 Join me at my next masterclass where I will go into detail about my 5-stage framework for achieving gender equity in your firm.
