Did you tell clients when you were going out on maternity leave? I work on some matters with limited partner involvement and I’m concerned they will be mad I didn’t tell them. My supervising partner told me not to say anything and let them find out once I’m out. My maternity leave is coming up in a few weeks and now I’m afraid I’ll be bombarded with work if I tell them.

This seems like strange advice from your supervising partner. I told my clients ahead of time that I would be out and introduced them to the person who would be covering their case in my absence if that person wasn’t already part of their legal team.

I definitely told my clients and they were super respectful of my time off.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
