Earlier this week, thanks to the recently released National Law Journal 500 ranking, we determined which U.S.-centric Biglaw companies were the most important of all of them in terms of headcount. As a companion piece to the NLJ 500, nowadays, we’ve been given the NLJ Women’s Scorecard, a rating of the share of women lawyers and the percentage of women partners at the largest 350 companies in the United States of America.
For this ranking, both equity and non-equity companions had been counted as companions, while the nonpartner or “other” figures encompass special counsel, suggestions, and other personnel attorneys. Temporary and contract lawyers aren’t protected within the rely. In a tie, the higher rank is awarded to the firm with more woman fairness partners.
In these 12 months, 271 of the kingdom’s 350 biggest regulation companies by headcount responded back the Women in Law Scorecard survey, which ranks the state’s biggest law companies through a representation of women lawyers. Among all 271 firms surveyed, girls comprised 36.5% of 141,466 legal professionals in 2018. But the fairness partnership ranks had been most effective with 23.5% women, out of 59,000 total partners. Women comprised 47% of the 67,166 pals at all 271 companies.
Without similarly ado, right here is the NLJ Women’s Scorecard Top 10 for 2019:
