How Much Will 'Best Law Firms for Women' List Influence Attorneys?
Female law students entering the recruiting season have another weapon for their interviewing arsenal: a list of the 50 U.S. firms deemed most woman-friendly. The survey by Working Mother magazine and Flex-Time Lawyers covers benefits and compensation; parental leave and policies; child care; workforce profile; flexibility; and retention and advancement. Some women in the profession, however, question how much of an impact the list might have on a newly minted attorney's employment decisions.10 N.Y. Firms Listed as Best for Women

Structured finance lawyers are quickly learning a painful lesson from the subprime mortgage meltdown: If there's no supply and no demand, then there's no work. As lenders stop making subprime loans and investors avoid mortgage-backed securities like a disease, the lawyers who help bundle, slice up and sell the debt to the investors don't have much of that work to do. Since July, structured finance lawyers report that deals have all but dried up -- and it has hit the less-risky options, too.Trending Stories
