Professional Development and Community


As part of fostering an inclusive, professional environment for women at the firm, all attorneys at Irell place a high priority on recruiting a diverse team of lawyers, cultivating women lawyers’ professional development, facilitating networking opportunities, and ensuring that women are represented in all aspects of firm work and culture. Among our efforts:

Family Resources for All Lawyers

Irell offers a number of resources to help our lawyers achieve a successful work/life balance, including programs to assist both mothers and fathers following the birth of their children. For example, we provide a breast milk shipping service for nursing mothers who need to travel and up to 20 weeks of paid maternity or adoption leave. We also allow all lawyers remote access, in order to provide more flexibility. Additionally, we have a membership in Bright Horizons, which provides subsidized daycare and back-up care solutions for children and elders.
