Produktbeschreibung

Despite decades of effort, the legal profession remains one of the least diverse industries, with systemic barriers affecting who enters, advances, and succeeds. Bias - whether conscious or unconscious - perpetuates inequality, impacting hiring, promotions, pay, and leadership opportunities. The traditional pipeline to legal success favors those with economic privilege, established networks, and cultural capital, leaving others at a disadvantage. There are more women than ever before in the legal profession, but the seniority gap remains and barriers to success persist. Written by women lawyers who have achieved success, despite the odds, and leading experts who have helped law firms and corporations implement meaningful change, Beyond Bias is more than just an exploration of the problem - it is a roadmap for transforming the legal profession into one that truly reflects the diversity of the world it serves. At a time when diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are under fire, this book makes the business case for gender equity, showing how inclusive teams drive better decision-making, innovation, and profitability.
