'Best Law Firms for Women'

Sidley Named to 'Best Law Firms for Women' by Working Mother & Flex-Time Lawyers

-- Sidley Austin LLP has been named to the 2007 Working Mother & Flex-Time Lawyers Best Law Firms for
Women. The firm is among a total of 50 law firms selected by Working Mother
magazine and Flex-Time Lawyers, a national consulting firm advising lawyers
and legal employers on work-life balance and the retention and advancement
of women.
This is the inaugural year that Working Mother and Flex-Time Lawyers
have joined forces to compile the "Best Law Firms for Women" list. The 50
winning firms were selected based on their responses to an application
measuring six areas of importance: workforce profile, benefits and
compensation, parental leave, child care, flexibility and retention and
advancement of women.
Sidley's inclusion on the list was based on its long-standing
commitment to the recruitment, retention and promotion of women. The firm's
formal initiative to provide a work environment that fosters the
establishment and development of women's legal careers began in 1998, and
its Committee on Retention and Promotion of Women was established to ensure
sustained diversity efforts. In 2005, Sidley became the second law firm to
win the Catalyst Award, from the leading research and advisory organization
dedicated to expanding opportunities for women and business.

I agree and have a spouse there!!
