A panel of female attorneys who have achieved success in their careers will address wage equality issues facing female attorneys. The panel will discuss first-hand wage and promotion experiences as well as provide motivational and tactical advice on how to (1) request and negotiate salary demands and promotions, (2) put oneself in the best position to receive a salary or bonus increase or promotion, and (3) determine how to best highlight achievements during a negotiation in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
