Presented as part of the WBA Career Catalyst Series
Sponsored by: Women's Bar Association of the District of Columbia

 

Join Kate Mueting, an experienced employment attorney, and Anna Markham Sanders, a seasoned law firm recruiter, for an insightful discussion on partner compensation in law firms.

This session will cover:

The key factors law firms consider in determining partner compensation—and how firms calculate and weigh those factors differently;

  • What questions to ask about your own compensation to ensure you’re being paid fairly;
  • How and why women are often underpaid and undervalued, and what to do if it is happening to you;
  • The metrics firms track, how to understand them, and how to track your own performance data; and
  • Practical strategies and negotiation tips to advocate for yourself effectively.

Drawing from years of experience advising BigLaw partners, Anna and Kate will walk through real-world compensation scenarios and share strategies to help you close pay gaps and negotiate from a position of strength

 

Speakers:
Kate Mueting, Firm Administrative Partner and Discrimination and Harassment Practice Group Co-Chair, Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight 
Anna Markham Sanders, Executive Director, VOYlegal
