Following the release of the fifth annual
National Profile of Solicitors report, Lawyers Weekly spoke to four female legal executives on what more the industry can do for women, as well as where they see the future of females in #auslaw.
As previously reported by Lawyers Weekly, women now make up the majority of solicitors in the country. Female solicitors outnumber male solicitors in the government, corporate and community legal sectors; and comprise 48 per cent of solicitors in private practice.
The report also found that since 2011, the number of female solicitors entering the legal industry has increased by 67 per cent, compared to a 26 per cent increase of men entering the industry.
