Back in the day when Wall Street firms were filled with WASPs and afternoon tea was a daily requirement, women lawyers (if there were any) practiced in trusts and estates while the men stormed off to court or retreated to smoke choked conference rooms to negotiate deals.
That’s all ancient history, of course. T&E is dead at most big firms, and women can be found in virtually every practice area across the Am Law 200. Still, that doesn’t necessarily mean that women have succeeded across the board. This isn’t the first time we’ve noted that women account for just 19 percent of the partners at big law firms. So where are the female lawyers thriving? One area is labor and employment. And no, it’s not because it’s a family friendly practice.
