Hello!

Hello! I am an equity partner at a small law firm in Colorado which has never had a female partner. Our current Maternity Leave policy is garbage for employees, but as a partner who is about to take maternity leave, I would like to propose a more robust policy for myself and for women who follow in my footsteps. I am in need of resources or someone to talk to about what is a realistic proposal. Does anyone have resources in this regard?

    No personal experience, but always good to find external, 3rd party research about what's standard in firms / companies similar to you, or the firms yours would like to grow to be. References to some research here. https://dfalliance.com/ https://news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-practice/law-firms-botch-parental-leave-for-men-families-survey-says
