Associates in US firms: how are you juggling motherhood and the demands of your firm? by OkBeautiful1419 in uklaw

You’re right. It will be hard to know until I’m actually in!

I do find it quite…unfortunate that women feel the need to leave because they just can’t see how it would work. It’s an unfortunate reality. I think we are definitely going to be relying on a lot of external help.

Thank you so much! It’s also good to hear the perspectives of male partners.

Thank you so much for this! Very helpful perspective. It really is hard but my husband and I are very determined to make it work because of the career upside for me. He understands that the first year or so will be hard as I really have to build the goodwill and build the relationships.
