Revealed: the reasons why UK associates join US firms - and it's not just for money

Very interesting stuff. We have 22 specialist divorce lawyers and 20 are female. I think people are drawn to firms for differing reasons and it can be dangerous to separate them by gender rather than personality type. It is a common mistake for law firms (and the public!) to think that lawyers are mainly motivated by money. Most are not. They are motivated by involvement, respect, flexibility, challenge and fairness. Money is part of that but not as important for most as most think.
