Diversity And Inclusion Are Part Of Baker Mckenzie's DNA
Forbes Woman Africa
|August-September 2017
According to Law360’s 2017 Glass Ceiling Report, women make up around one-third of the attorneys in private legal practice. Among the law firms surveyed, just below 23% of partners are female.
-
At Baker McKenzie in Johannesburg, 61% of its employees are women. Globally, 40% of the firm’s 80 recent partner promotions were women – a market-leading number for any law firm.
Jen Stolp, Partner in the Banking & Finance Practice in the Johannesburg office explains; “Baker McKenzie has progressive policies with regards to gender diversity and inclusion and this is revealed in the amount of successful female lawyers working for the firm.
“Workplace policies play a major role in ensuring that men and women are treated equally. For example, policies around parental leave should ensure that both genders are given the opportunity to choose how they will approach this and who will stay home with the children. It’s those companies that are adopting a more flexible approach that are providing women with the most opportunity to progress,” says Stolp.

Why The Richest And Most Powerful Go To Davos
For years, I’ve been a silent observer of the World Economic Forum (WEF), reading about it on the internet, editing reams of copy on it or watching it on TV. But one question has always remained in my mind. What drives thousands of people each year to a small alpine town in Switzerland to live out Professor Klaus Schwab’s dream, who founded the forum in 1971?
