Details about this webinar
Women now represent approximately 41% of U.S. lawyers and the majority of law school students—yet they hold only about 28% of law firm partner roles. This gap isn’t a pipeline problem. It’s a leverage problem.
Technology and AI are emerging as powerful tools to help close that gap—not by replacing legal expertise, but by amplifying judgment, efficiency, and client impact.
In this live 60-minute webinar, we connect women-focused industry data to five practical ways women attorneys are using technology and AI to redefine success—on their own terms.
What You’ll Learn
- Why leadership representation still lags despite growing participation
- How AI can act as a career multiplier—not a replacement
- Practical ways to improve client communication and transparency
- How tech-forward workflows reduce burnout and administrative overload
- How to elevate the client experience without sacrificing empathy or trust
Who Should Attend
- Women lawyers across all practice areas and career stages
- Law firm partners and practice group leaders
- Legal operations, innovation, and knowledge management professionals
Attendees will also be invited to submit questions in advance via a short questionnaire, with selected questions answered live to ensure the discussion reflects real-world challenges facing modern women lawyers.
