Ladies, no need to hurry out of the law profession. “In pursuit of better economics and diversity, firms have introduced such things as longer maternity leaves, on-site day care and the option of working shorter hours. They’ve also begun promoting alternatives to the typically male attorney-client bonding sessions on the golf course, at the stadium or over brandy and cigars. ‘Spa get-togethers, women’s poker night, wine tastings, cooking classes, antiquing outings, self-defense training,’ are ways female attorneys have put their stamp on the networking practice.” Who in the hell would choose to leave a firm to raise a family when options like “antique outings” are on the table?
