The female factor is proud to announce a partnership with Binder Grösswang lawyers, ranked among the leading commercial law firms in Austria.
Law has traditionally been a male-dominated area for centuries, with only 20 % of lawyers promoted to partner level globally being women*. Investing in more diversity and creating an environment in which all people can thrive equally is a clear competitive advantage when looking for new talent.
"We want to support young female colleagues in their careers to achieve a balanced quota between women and men also at the highest level." - Christine Dietz, partner at Binder Grösswang
diversity anchored as a strategic goal
51% of the Binder Grösswang staff, just under 40% of their lawyers, and 23% of their team-leaders are women. But their clear objective is to raise the percentage of women at all career levels and, in particular, to increase the proportion of female partners.
“In searching for new talents, we attach high importance to diversity. We see differences as strengths, because team members with different perspectives complement each other and together are able to meet challenges innovatively.” - Sabine Binder-Krieglstein, Head of Human Resources at Binder Grösswang
Binder Grösswang put an emphasis on accompanying women along their career paths and creating a work environment that flexibly adapts to a wide variety of life circumstances.
