At the Women, Influence and Power in Law (WIPL) Conference, women legal leaders offered insights on tackling gender disparities in the legal profession. Honorees, including Citigroup’s Jo-Anne Kelly and Morrison & Foerster’s Lisa Phelan, emphasized the importance of family-friendly firm policies, flexible work options, and creative solutions to avoid forcing women to choose between family and career advancement. Flynn Group’s Jacqueline Lee urged male colleagues to share in traditionally female-dominated tasks, while Fisher Phillips’ Shanon Stevenson highlighted succession planning as key to promoting diverse leadership in law firms and legal departments.
