Yale Law Women Names Dechert Among Top Firms for Family Friendliness

Yale Law Women recently announced the results of its fourteenth annual Top Ten Firms for Gender Equity & Family Friendliness, naming Dechert LLP among the top firms for Family Friendliness.

This ranking follows the announcement of Dechert’s new parental leave policy granting all U.S. employees at least 12 weeks of paid leave and doing away with the distinctions between primary and secondary caregivers.

"We are honored that our firm’s long-term commitment to supporting families is recognized by our inclusion on Yale Law Women’s Family Friendliness list,” said Alison Bernard, Chief Talent and Human Resources Officer. “We are a community that supports and empowers our people and we strive to offer programs and policies that exceed industry best practices. This award confirms that we are making great progress.”

Yale Law Women invited all firms listed in the 2019 Vault Law 100 to participate in a survey to create its Top Ten lists.
