Thompson Coburn named a Law360 ‘Ceiling Smasher’ for women in equity partnership

September 24, 2021

In Law360’s 2021 Glass Ceiling Report, Thompson Coburn was among the top 10 law firms of 250-600 attorneys with the highest percentage of women equity partners. With women making up 29.3% of our equity partners, Thompson Coburn was listed at No. 8 on the publication’s “Ceiling Smashers” list of midsize law firms, which also included Kutak Rock, Davis Wright Tremaine and Shook Hardy. 

Law360 collected data from more than 270 law firms on the demographics of their lawyer workforce. 

While acknowledging the persistent gender and diversity gaps in law firm partnership, Law360 praised law firms that in 2021 “repledged themselves to the work of closing the gender gap” by joining gender equity campaigns like The Mansfield Rule, “launching new initiatives designed to support the careers of female attorneys, coming up with new work models and finding ways to provide additional workplace support in the face of unprecedented challenges.”
