As talk about work-life balance continues with questionable impact on the lives of attorneys at firms, more women are having babies while earning their J.D.s.

There are clear distinctions between the cases, but they show the demographic time bomb at most U.K. and U.S. firms.

Bingham McCutchen Builds on Merger Strategy

A series of mergers have brought Bingham McCutchen geographic diversity, a smart blend of practices and a seemingly unquenchable thirst for more. The firm seems blessedly free of some illusions: It's not Cravath, Swaine & Moore and doesn't aim to be. But its partners, and especially its leader, are determined to keep climbing the ladder. The goal, in Chairman Jay Zimmerman's words: "To become the best national firm in five to seven years." If they don't get there, it won't be for lack of trying.

Hogan and Lovells Partners Approve Merger

Partners at Hogan & Hartson and Lovells signed off on their megamerger in separate votes that ended at midnight on Monday.
