This two-part episode considers some of the formative initiatives that have been developed to support lawyers with their work-life balances while also asking some important questions about what more we can do to achieve true gender equality. In part one, Lindsay Aagard, Counsel at Faskens, describes a flexible work arrangement she has been trying out within her large firm. In part two, Chief Officer of Professional Resources for Blakes, Cassels and Graydon LLP, Mary Jackson more pointedly considers the progress that’s been made over the years and what more can be done to bring equality into the profession.
