Freshfields mulls female partnership targets in diversity push

It is not female lawyers that need training in this field it is senior male partners. I really think that targets are the only solution and targets do not mean that women will be promoted because they are women. It will means firms will wake up and ask why so few women are being promoted. I have been told I will never make partner because I work 4 days a week. I have also been told that because I work 4 days a week and have been on maternity leave twice ( I took 6 - 7 months off) that I am "deskilled". Unless there are real advances in how women are treated I will not be encouraging my daughter to become a lawyer.
