The ABA Journal reports that Yale Law Women and Working Mother magazine don’t agree on the top family friendly law firms.
A top 10 list of family friendly law firms released today by Yale Law Women includes four law firms that didn’t make a top 50 list of best law firms for moms published last week by Working Mother magazine.
The four law firms on Yale Law Women’s list that didn’t make Working Mother’s top 50 are: Arnold & Porter, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, Mayer Brown and Patton Boggs.
Yale Law Women based its list on a survey of Vault’s top 100 law firms that included questions about percentages of female lawyers, access to and use of parental leave, emergency and on-site child care, availability and use of part-time and flex-time work policies, billable hours and compensation, and alternative career programs. Results were weighted based on a Yale alumni survey about the importance of each category of family friendly practices.
