2007 list of the 50 best law firms for women published

Working Mother magazine and national consulting firm Flex-Time Lawyers, LLC, have published the "2007 Working Mother & Flex-Time Lawyers Best Law Firms for Women" list. Working Mother and Flex-Time Lawyers sent surveys to female attorneys asking them about factors that influence the retention and promotion of women in the legal profession. Based on their responses to questions covering six areas—"workforce profile," "benefits and compensation," "parental leave," "childcare," "flexibility," and "retention and advancement of women"—the 50 best firms were selected. Suzanne Riss, editor-in-chief of Working Mother, stated that in contrast to the "old stereotypes" of inhospitable law firms, some of the nation's law firms have been "quietly changing their policies in recent years to reflect changes that are afoot in society as a whole." Deborah Epstein Henry, founder and president of Flex-Time Lawyers, LLC, said that "firms have begun to make strides with respect to women."

Rankings were based on a scale of one to five, with five being the highest score. Responses from 7,172 third-, fourth-, and fifth-year associates were used to calculate the individual firms' scores. The results were published in the August 2007 edition of The American Lawyer magazine.
