The lack of women in top roles has nothing to do with 'satisfying client needs' or whether the 'top person gets the job'. Equally painting the gender debate on rudimentary work/life balance arguments is out-dated.

New structures in the market offering work/life integration will create a more level playing field as well as catering for a younger generation of lawyers who are more outcome focused. These structures still attend to client needs whilst creating a more engaged workforce.

I agree that this profession can create greater demands on its work force but to revert to type and dismiss new initiatives is, quite frankly, lazy.
