A relatively small percentage of partners at major law firms nationwide are women—and an even smaller percentage of managing partners are women. A similar story can be told about legal departments and general counsel at Fortune 500 companies. How can female attorneys overcome the odds and achieve equal status? How can firms and companies attract and retain talented female attorneys?

At the LexisNexis Women in the Legal Profession Summit: Rainmaking and Collaborative Development, you’ll hear about the proven techniques and approaches that successful female attorneys have used to move up in the legal profession. You’ll get:

• Insight from a corporate counsel roundtable on how the panelists got where they are today
• Increased awareness of where women stand in the legal profession today
• A better understanding of what work/life balance is and ways to achieve it
• Strategies for attaining partnership and for succeeding once you get there
• Approaches for success in rainmaking—first-hand advice and success stories
• Ways to improve your communication skills, with style and success

In addition, a luncheon and a networking reception will provide opportunities for interaction with colleagues and experts.
