"L&W practices what it preaches when it come to equality. There are opportunities to get involved with Women Enriching Business, parent and women affinity groups, and women in leadership roles across the firm. I work in technology, historically a “boy’s club”, however I have felt supported, heard, and given plenty of opportunities for growth. "

"Flexibility depends on the role. Many staff roles are non-exempt and require employees to clock in and out for the day. This is great for creating work/life boundaries, but limits the time of day that you can get work done. Having said that, in this newly remote environment, most managers have been very flexible with time especially for those who may have to care for family during quarantine. "

"Experiences of working mothers here vary wildly - a lot depends on your particular office/practice area/supervisors. I personally have had a positive experience as a working mother of two young kids, both born while I was working here, but my compensation is lower than that of my male peers, even those with young kids, because bonuses are pro-rated for parental leaves."
