Everything You Need To Know About Biglaw Parental Leave
What does a good parental leave policy even mean?
In the latest episode of The Jabot podcast, I chat with Kate Reder Sheikh, managing director in the Associate Practice Group at Major, Lindsey & Africa, who specializes in helping her clients negotiate parental leave. We discuss what a robust parental leave policy consists of, how to have uncomfortable conversations about parental leave, what to really expect when you take parental leave in Biglaw, and how gender-neutral parental leave can help close the gender pay gap.
The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wears when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Happy listening!
