We Know Women Are Quitting Biglaw. These Folks Want To Know Why.

Plus: what firms need to do to retain talented women.

In the latest episode of The Jabot, I speak with Roberta D. Liebenberg and Stephanie A. Scharf. They’re the co-authors of a new study co-sponsored by the American Bar Association and ALM Intelligence that addresses why senior women lawyers are leaving law firms. We also delve into the results of the study which are simultaneously deeply upsetting and incredibly illuminating.

The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wears when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Happy listening!
