This is a concerning and significant statistic that can’t be ignored.
"📈 Did you know that according to research conducted by BlueSky, a staggering 95% of returning lawyers are dissatisfied with their work allocation after maternity leave? This means that huge numbers of talented women in law are feeling sidelined from key development opportunities, high-profile matters, or are being burdened with non-promotable tasks below their PQE. 😔
This not only hampers their career trajectories but also results in many women seeking better opportunities elsewhere. If your firm is committed to retaining and empowering women post-maternity leave, it's time for a change. 🌟"
And with the country’s first EVER female Lord (or lady…or legend) Chief Justice taking up her post later this year it’s surely the time for the legal industry to take an honest look at its culture and policies.
To all female lawyers - don’t accept being sidelined. As we know from our Mentoring Circle community, the power of collaboration with your peers is huge.
