Abstract
We know that a bigger variety, in particular gender diversity, improves the working environment, delivers a higher and qualitative better output, and leads to a higher satisfaction of employees, employers, and customers. This also applies to the legal market. One may therefore wonder why this topic is still not getting the respective attention or, in case it does, it seems not to achieve the expected impact. If we see fewer women in leading roles in the legal industry, both as equity partners in law firms and as general counsel in legal departments, then it must be due to insufficient leadership and resource management.
