Women leave law for many reasons in the early stages of their careers. What we have not yet explored is our reasons for leaving law in midlife. Many women in midlife continue to balance family responsibilities with adult children and aging parents, all while navigating personal and physical midlife changes and challenges. Law firms have much to gain if they meet their midlife women lawyers, with decades of experience and secure professional relationships, where they are. There is a real opportunity to co-create a work environment that encourages retention, which we will explore in beginning this important dialogue.

Join our engaging panel of experts for a lively and interactive dialogue as we explore:

• Why do midlife women leave law or private practice? 
• What do midlife women lawyers have to offer? 
• How to tap into the unique strengths of midlife/midcareer women lawyers? 
• How to overcome some of the barriers, hurdles and challenges of retention 
• How to begin a conversation, and boost equity, at your law firm
• A preliminary roadmap to co-creating a 'win-win' for women lawyers and law firms
