BLM is most female friendly firm in UK top 50

All very politically correct an' all that, but the fact is that part-time working is a complete pain an the assterix. I always used to recruit the best candidate - man or woman and ended up with 65% women. Most of whom got pregnant, of course, disappeared for months on maternity leave when they reached partnership (or, for those who couldn't hang on, senior associateship), then wanted to do part-time work, In many cases, three days work for three-fifths of the pay for two fifths of the work they used to do. That is the reality : let's not kid ourselves. And yeah, yeah, will get pilloried by wimmin lawyers, but we all know the truth.
