[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a reason that OP keeps capitalizing biglaw??[/quote] I doubt her firm is really biglaw. If it is, it's doutlessly large enough to have had some pregnant partners recently--at least in other offices, other groups. [/quote] I was at a biglaw firm for 5 years (one of the biggest 10 by size, revenue and "rankings"). There were 39 partners in our office, 9 of whom were women. In those 5 years, only 1 had a kid and took maternity leave. And I was at one of the big firms that was considered one of the better firms (relative to more traditional white shoe NY firms) in terms of opportunities for women, minorities, etc. I imagine other offices had similar stats, though I don't know that for sure. I don't think OP's facts are so hard to believe. Many of the women who make partner at large firms either (i) already had a kid when they became partner (big name laterals from Fed, etc.), or (ii) chose not to have kids. [/quote]
