Welcome change from what? Professions more than half female, its been proved over and over again that the pay gap is caused by women taking time off for kids. There is no discrimination, well sorry actually there is, there is now clear discrimination against men (particularly in the legal media) and definitely in the law societies.

  Can you provide links to the evidence you refer to? I'm not aware of such studies/data/evidence and would be interested in reading more. Although I note whenever I request this data from people who dispute the gender pay gap they are never able to provide it.

Fantastic to see a woman appointed to such a significant leadership role in a law firm; another step closer to smashing that glass ceiling in the legal profession. It's also refreshing to see the firm's directors comment on her creative attributes and passion for her work. It's a welcome change.
