Blohm
Lindsay Blohm, co-author of Presumed Equal: What America's TopWomen Lawyers Really Think about their Firms, discussed her book, which surveyed 4,000 women about their experiences at large law firms throughout the United States. She discussed researching for and writing the book, as well as the general results of the surveys. She also presented and examined issues facing the legal profession today, especially as related to women, including mentoring and retention. Lindsay is currently a second year associate at Mayer Brown LLP in Chicago, where she practices corporate law. She graduated from Harvard Law School in 2006 and from Georgetown University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics.
