This paper intends to analyze why female lawyers are underrepresented at the top level positions of the big Latin American law firms, by studying the different social-economic theories that could explain this phenomenon. The “human capital theory” and the “gender-role socialization theory” are invoked in the present work with a view to understand the actual situation of law firm’s environment. Besides that, concepts of segregation, discrimination, glass ceiling effect andsex stereotypes are also developed and applied to the case object of the present study. |
