Law360 Glass Ceiling Report
/
What It Is: These rankings highlight the ways women's representation has advanced (or not) among the nation's top law firms.
Why It Matters To You: Rankings are available for best firms for female attorneys and female equity partners as well as analysis of trends within the world of law firms.
Considerations: There is not an overall ranking for women's representation, but rather specific rankings for certain markers such as headcount. Rankings also don't measure other measures of diversity, which may provide a fuller picture. Firms are grouped within the rankings by headcount.
