BLM is most female friendly firm in UK top 50

There may not be an overt agenda at the big firms, but the simple fact is that these firms are run by partnerships which are mainly made up of men over 40. Therefore the viewpoint of the partnership towards making up women (some of whom, shock horro, might have children) is going to be the view held by those same men. Until there are more women partners, these views are unlikely to change, therefore the covert agenda - driven by the conservative views of the existing partners towards working women) - is perpetuated.
