On September 6, Barros & Err\u00e1zuriz was visited by Isabel Pl\u00e1 Jarufe, Minister of Women and Gender Equity of Chile, as part of her work to promote women\u2019s leadership and the promotion of women in positions of high responsibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to give structure and continuity to the processes related to internal improvements around the role of women in the organization,\u201d said Carola Trucco, a partner in the firm.<\/p>\n
Isabel Pl\u00e1 was invited by the firm to celebrate the Conversation about the Women\u2019s Agenda 2018, addressed to the entire firm. It was received by the founding partners Jos\u00e9 Tom\u00e1s Err\u00e1zuriz and Fernando Barros. In the presentation, she pointed out that in Latin America women represent 55.4% of the workforce and in Chile, 48.8%, \u201ca reality that can also be applied to the law firms in the country,\u201d the firm\u2019s statement said.<\/p>\n
The Minister emphasized recognizing \u201cThe need that exists to develop mechanisms that contribute not only to advance the explicit problems that arise in the workplace, but also in what is called \u2018Crystal Roof\u2019 (\u2026) those invisible barriers that make it impossible for women to move up to the top levels of the corporate ladder, independent of their grades or achievements. \u201d<\/p>\n
And, he stressed that in order to see effective results \u201cthe implementation of metrics that allow a constant evaluation is fundamental\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe it is important to emphasize that the Ministry\u2019s proposal and the presentation made by the Minister of State, is a mobilizing invitation and challenges us to look at ourselves from another perspective in relation to the invisible gaps experienced by professional women and also to generate, gradually , the necessary cultural changes, \u201csaid Trucco.<\/p>\n
Barros & Err\u00e1zuriz has 40 women out of a total of 128 lawyers, which represents 31% of its population. Of these, only two are partners with 23 partners, eight are senior associates and 30 are associates.<\/p>\n
The lawyer explained the work her office has done to implement policies that favor the professional development of women.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor more than 10 years we have been promoting different practices that make work and family life compatible, because we are convinced of the importance of incorporating women and promoting their professional career,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Some of these practices have been labor flexibility, with special hours, so that women who are mothers can distribute and make their times compatible effectively. In this way B & E attracts and retains talented women, who can \u201cdeploy all their professional skills, without sacrificing their personal lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
