Recent research from Australia indicates that women lawyers in that jurisdiction are outperforming their non-lawyer executive female counterparts by rising faster and in greater numbers up the corporate ladder. Women make up 30 per cent of general counsel posts at top Australian corporations, while they hold fewer than 10 per cent of key executive positions elsewhere in those companies.
