Four Law Firms Make Working Mother's List of 100 Best Companies
A few weeks ago, I noted the two local firms that had made Working Mother magazine’s Best Law Firm list.
Now the mag has released its 2008 list of 100 best companies. Four law firms are on it, but and it includes four law firms.
Alas, none have a local presence.
But congrats to Arnold & Porter, Covington & Burling, Katten Muchin Rosenman, and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman.
Among the benefits offered by these firms noted by Working Mother:
Arnold & Porter (Washington, D.C.) -- on-site child-care center; flexible schedules, telecommuting options, generous maternity and family leave policies. Women make up 50% of the top earners.
Covington & Burling (Washington, D.C) --General maternity an adoption leave; mentoring, advocacy programs. Women make up 38% of the top earners.
