Travers 'discriminated against pregnant trainee', tribunal hears

I am a male partner in the London office of a global law firm. We have had long and serious strategic discussions about ensuring that the law firm environment is able to recognise working mothers. The world has changed since the days of signet rings and port after a long lunch. Our clients are female, our best and brightest fee earners are female and it would be utterly naive for us to behave in a way that doesn't recognise this. Travers Smith much be a dinosaur not to have thought about this until today. I am disgusted, yet amused by a firm that probably considers itself a business.
