It is clear now (it took a couple of decades) that women are equally able when it comes to doing the top jobs in the legal profession. Much has been made in recent years of gender equality and much has been done – 20% of partners in the top 100 are now female. So the stats are improving even if they have some way to go – the Magic Circle proved less inclusive on the ‘equality scale ‘ than smaller firms with just over 14% of partners being of the female variety last year.
