One day we'll begin to look at this picture correctly. The legal profession is currently very unequal in gender terms, and contrary to the popular narrative it is females who are benefitting. Salary figures are skewed by a relatively small number of men in senior positions, whereas the true story is the vast discrepancy between the number of younger men and women being recruited.

If you are a male junior looking to begin a legal career then you are hugely disadvantaged. Don't agree? Google virtually any law firm and check out the new starters with the obligatory photograph of the one or two male staffers standing at the back.
