[quote=Anonymous]As an owner of the firm, law firm partner on maternity leave doesn't get disability benefits! :( I went on maternity leave as an associate at a large firm. I had my own book of business, and my boss cut me off of my clients completely while I was on leave, although I insisted that I remain cc'd on all communication. 2 weeks after I returned, the firm laid me off suddenly without prior notice and I lost some key clients as a result. The law firm's response was... these were the firm's clients and since I was on leave and was not supposed to work, the firm did the right thing by not copying me on emails. The lesson learned is that for the 2nd time around, I'm going to take as little time off as possible and then take the rest of the maternity leave on an on-going basis. I'm pregnant with my 2nd child, and I plan to take 6 weeks and then go back to work 3 days a week for the next 2 months and then 4 days a week until the remainder of my maternity leave. [/quote]
