As a significant other of a lawyer and a lawyer myself, how do support your partner who is experiencing discrimination in the work place without being perceived as “fighting her battles for her” ?

I’ll have been practicing for three years come the new year. For her, two years in a few month. Separate practice areas. Conservative area. I do not want to do anything that is going to hurt her reputation or career. It’s just difficult feeling like there is nothing I can do to help.
