New moms get 18 weeks maternity leave to bond with their babies.

This firm understands how small but critical decisions can have a huge impact on job satisfaction and productivity. Exhibit A: Kitty Wach, the firm’s pro bono counsel and mother of five who needed to leave work in the middle of the day to shuttle her son between a tutor and school. Leaving work and coming back wasn’t the issue; finding a parking spot in busy downtown Washington, DC, was. Kitty explained the situation to human resources and got a solution within a day—a space in the firm’s parking lot, normally reserved for more senior attorneys.
