This six-office firm with headquarters in Cleveland is committed to providing innovative and personalized work arrangements for its women attorneys. Last year 20% of them—both associates and partners— used a reduced-hours schedule, ranging from 55% to 80%. The partner track is open to lawyers working reduced hours, and in 2010 a lawyer working a 55% schedule was promoted to partner. Women have a strong voice in the firm’s management, and a woman chairs the firm’s largest practice group, Corporate and Securities. New parents (yes, moms and dads) are offered 26 weeks of job-guaranteed time off following childbirth, with 13 weeks paid for associates and 26 weeks paid for partners. The firm recently added nursing rooms—private rooms equipped with a refrigerator, sink, desk and Internet access.
