According to Bloomberg, women in general are underrepresented at Wall Street law firms and female partners are badly underrepresented at these firms. The ABA Journal reports that: “Law360’s third annual ‘Glass Ceiling Report’ surveyed 300 law firms with U.S. offices; the numbers reflect 2015. Its data showed that there are 8,549 attorneys practicing at Wall Street Law firms. Of that total, 17.1 percent are male partners, and only 3.9 percent are female partners. This puts women at 18.6 percent of Wall Street firms’ partnership ranks.”
Law360 further reports that “Wall Street firms are notorious for keeping their partner ranks trim, but climbing to that top rung remains even more challenging for women, with less than 4 percent of female attorneys at those firms defying the odds to make the cut, a Law360 study found.”
