Lawyers working flextime are not required to be in the office at all, are paid the same as full-time lawyers working at the office and are eligible for partnership.

This Minneapolis-based firm has women in every leadership role—as members of the management committee, group head, administrative partner and committee chair. Some of this can be attributed to the electoral policy changes instituted two years ago, when the firm created a nominating committee with an intentionally diverse composition that rotates every year. So far, it’s been a big success: In its second election, two women, one a woman of color, were proposed by the committee and then elected by secret ballot. The firm is also formally dedicated to incorporating flexibility into its culture. For example, high-level partners are encouraged to use flex policies. The firm recently launched Full-Flex, in which lawyers working flextime are not required to be in the office at all, are paid the same as full-time lawyers and are eligible for partnership.
