[quote=Anonymous]Depends on how valuable an atty you are. If you produce reliably good work (especially in a niche area), communicate well, are likeable, and have long-term potential, smart partners understand that it's very much worth it to retain women after maternity leave. Given that most partners retire in their early 70s, that means that several months of maternity leave and a few years of reduced work load are a very good economic deal in the long run. It's just not worth it, if a firm is looking at the long-term, to lose good people. Unfortunately, it seems that law firms, like so many businesses these days, are so caught up in short-term financial gain (looking 1-5 years out, rather than 20-25) that they end up imploding.[/quote]
