On Jan. 1st, Womble Carlyle Chair and CEO Betty Temple became part of a small, but growing, club—women leading AmLaw 200 law firms.
Bloomberg BNA takes a look at women attorneys leading some of the country’s largest law firms, noting Temple’s appointment as a significant recent milestone. The article also examines how these law firm leaders have formed an informal club to address industry-wide challenges.
Temple tells Bloomberg BNA, “I think the legal industry is undergoing a radical change right now, in leadership and across the board. As the Baby Boomers retire, younger attorneys are stepping into those leadership roles, and there are simply more women attorneys in that generation.”
