Last month I flew to Hong Kong to attend the Asian Summit of the International Network of Boutique Law Firms. Over the two-day program, I expected to learn about the Asian business boom, what Hong Kong’s role is in China business, and how to collaborate with my fellow INBLF members on serving clients. What I did not expect to learn was that one of the biggest challenges facing law firms whether based in Hong Kong, mainland China, the U.K. or the U.S. is how to retain their attorneys, and in particular their female attorneys.
Apparently this is a global issue that no one has yet figured out. Many of those who attended the summit are managing partners or former managing partners of their firms. When I asked about their most pressing challenges, time and time again they lamented over their struggles to hold onto the most talented women in their firms.
