Isolating just the female representation in Partner promotions is a flawed approach when trying to understand if a law firm is on track to reach their DE&I goals. Yes, 38% isn’t top of the class, but without also taking into consideration how Latham perform in retaining their female Partners as well as the ratio of female Partners laterally hired into the firm, it’s very difficult to understand if Latham are in fact on track or not. For example, the most effective area for Latham to focus on in improving their female representation in the Partnership might NOT be in equalising Partner promotions. Instead, RETAINING or HIRING more female Partners than their current rate might be the most impactful areas to focus on in reaching a more gender diverse Partnership quicker. And how can firms know which area is going to be the most impactful one to focus on for their firm? Not only that, what each practice group within the firm should focus on? Data!!!! P.S. This was the exact topic Jenny Burton-Johnson delivered a real law firm case study on during our recent event in London.
