Freshfields mulls female partnership targets in diversity push

Mentoring and presentation training for female lawyers? Why do women need this and not men? This approach is old hat and is based on the idea, which is itself discriminatory, that women need extra help. They don't. They just need the same help that their male colleagues get and to be judged on an equal basis. There is plenty of research showing that this doesn't happen and that women leave because they don't feel valued. Have they asked the women what they want and what they think is holding them back?
