Keypoint’s CEO, Warren Kalinko, commented:

Being a modern, progressive law firm, there is no glass ceiling or gender pay gap here.  Our female Consulting Principals constitute 43% of our total Consulting Principals, almost twice the industry average.  Notably, our merit-based approach extends to our remuneration structure, which is equitable and makes no distinction for gender, age or tenureUndoubtedly, these factors help explain why we are doing well attracting talented women lawyers to our firm.” 

 

* Note: Keypoint Law is an incorporated legal practice, not a partnership.  Our Consulting Principals are not partners, but are equivalent in seniority to partners.
