By Managing Partner Forum with Lisa Ramsey Cole and Leslie Packer
An MPF Webinar Originally Broadcast on February 3, 2021
On this edition of our series “The Law Firm of the Future”. Our guest panelists were Lisa Ramsay Cole, President and Managing Shareholder of Tennessee’s Lewis Thomason, and Leslie Packer, Managing Partner of North Carolina’s Ellis & Winters. One hundred-forty (140) firm leaders participated. Dr. Sharon Meit Abrahams was our guest co-host. As always, we collect and present relevant bench-marking data on our topic, including:
- Sixty-four percent (64%) of participating firms report challenges retaining women lawyers,
- Forty-nine percent (49%) have a formal diversity and inclusion initiative in place, and
- Fifty-six percent (56%) allow for part-time equity partners.
This was our first Webinar dedicated to women in leadership and we will be presenting more such programming in the future.
