Choosing between being a successful lawyer or a committed parent seems to be a decision that both men and women have been forced to make when practicing in a large law firm. But it doesn’t have to be that way! You don’t have to work as a law firm partner to be considered a “superlawyer”.
Many successful attorneys are executives, politicians, writers, professors, or podcasters. Some successful attorneys are freelancers. Many are mothers. Male attorneys still greatly outnumber female attorneys, but according to the “ABA Profile of the Legal Profession 2023”, women constitute 39% of the attorney population in the USA.
Having children made Laurie Rowen and Erin Giglia take a second look at their fast-paced firm lifestyle and resulted in a new way of life as freelance attorneys that didn’t have to choose between family or career. The two moms created Montage Legal Group, a platform of freelance attorneys, so they could continue to use their legal training and talent outside of a traditional law firm setting. They are happy to provide a model that allows other attorneys to stay in the legal market while they attend to their interests, whether it is family, creative, or business. Montage connects law firms and in-house legal departments with a nationwide platform of experienced freelance attorneys with impressive credentials from top law schools like Harvard Law, Georgetown Law, and Columbia Law, and trained in prestigious law firms like Latham & Watkins, Skadden, Kirkland & Ellis, and Sidley Austin.
