Female partner hiring is at an all-time high, as recruiters are being mandated to place women on shortlists. And while there is still a clear minority of female partners, firms are left pressured to decide on the best strategy for diversity – be it fast, aggressive hiring or slow, organic growth.
According to a recent report by legal recruiting company Fox Rodney Search, women made up 27 percent of all partner moves in 2018 in London, compared with 25 percent in 2017. Broken down, women made up 27 percent of lateral hires last year, and 28 percent of all partner promotions.
