Our analysis indicates that there are a number of factors
impacting our hourly pay and bonus gap numbers: (1)
the numbers are reported on a blended basis, including
both lawyers and business services roles; (2) there are
more male employees in senior roles; (3) the majority of
our senior lawyers are male; and (4) there are a greater
number of women than men in part-time roles.
We are working to close the pay and bonus gaps
primarily by focusing on recruiting, retaining and
advancing women lawyers.
