45 Diversity and Inclusion (Or Lack Thereof) There’s been a lively discussion regarding diversity in the legal sector. When looking at the Israeli market overall, the picture is particularly disappointing. According to the Legal-BI data, only 23% of the ranked lawyers in the country are women, whereas 77% of the lawyers are men. Although the number of female lawyers with the highest rankings almost matches that of their male counterparts, 80% of the lawyers in the “young and promising” category are men, suggesting there is still a lot to address in the near future. Moreover, the percentage of ranked lawyers doesn’t tell the whole story, as the distribution of rankings within legal practices indicates some practices are “female-oriented” while other practices are more “male-oriented.” For instance, there are more female lawyers ranked in labor law than men, while in law practices like high-tech, litigation, and corporate M&A, men comprise the absolute majority of ranked lawyers. In litigation, the sample ratio is 40:2. ranked lawyers out of total lawyers by genger
