Andie Kramer Andie Kramer, is a partner in the international law firm of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, one of the “10 Best Big Law Firms for Female Attorneys.” Andie was the founding chair of the firm’s Gender Diversity Committee. She has served on both her firm’s Management Committee and Compensation Committee. In these roles, she became deeply concerned about the disparities in the pace and extent of women’s and men’s career achievements. Andie’s extensive research, astute observations, and pragmatic voice have made her a nationally recognized advocate for women’s advancement and an authority on gender communication.

Today I'm joined by Andie Kramer, a partner in the international law firm McDermott Will & Emery LLP. Andie has mentored thousands of women and written hundreds of articles and blog posts on gender biases, and is co-author of the ABA guide, “What You Need to Know About Negotiating Compensation.” According to Andie, even the most well-intentioned workplace is biased, because the leadership is almost always men, and usually white men, and they (like most people) have affinity bias, which is an affinity for people who look and act like them and come from the same background. Add to that gender bias and you get an environment in which women are put into a very difficult position. Andie also addresses the interesting dynamic of women having gender-biased expectations of other women -- this isn't only bias on the part of men – and why this is too often a reality. Andie discusses the fact that when men receive feedback at work it tends to be about things they can improve, but a majority of the feedback that women receive at work is about their personality, as if there's something wrong with her. Andie talks about some of the things that women can do, that men can do, and that organizations can do to combat bias in the workplace. To learn more about Andie Kramer, go to https://andieandal.com.

In Episode 24, we meet a most interesting couple, Andrea Kramer and Alton Harris. Andie is a partner in the international law firm of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, which was just listed as one of the “10 Best BigLaw Firms for Female Attorneys.” Despite her successful and demanding legal career, Andie has helped thousands of women navigate both the obvious and subtle gender biases they encounter in all career settings. In 2015, she received the Inspiration Award from the Coalition of Women in Law Initiatives for her continued support of women’s initiatives, mentoring, and coaching. Al was a founding partner of the Chicago law firm of Ungaretti & Harris where Andie started her legal career and which in 2015 merged into the national law firm of Nixon Peabody LLP. Over the course of his career, Al has grown increasingly concerned about the barriers and biases women face in traditionally male career environments. Because of this concern, Al has mentored and advised women in many career fields. They have been mentoring women and speaking and writing about gender communication for more than 30 years. 

Welcome to Heels of Justice; these are the stories of women lawyers who are trailblazers in their field and paved the way for the rest of us. Today, the Heels of Justice interview Andrea (Andie) S. Kramer, author and Partner in the international law firm of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, which was just listed as one of the “10 Best Big Law Firms for Female Attorneys.” Andie is head of the firm’s Financial Products, Trading, and Derivatives Group, and is the founding chair of the firm’s Gender Diversity Committee and currently serves as its co-chair. She has served on both her firm’s Management Committee and Compensation Committee. In these roles, she became deeply concerned about the disparities in the pace and extent of women’s and men’s career achievements. Key Takeaways [:29] Katherine welcomes Andie Kramer, lawyer and author to the Heels of Justice podcast. [1:12] How did Andie end up writing her first book on gender dynamics in law firms? [3:19] What was the response Andie got to the Self-evaluation do’s and Don’ts a piece she wrote about 12 years ago? [4:29] Were there any changes in self-evaluations by women after the training was initially offered at her firm? [6:23] Once women start talking about themselves as rockstars, is there anything else that needs to be done to ensure that message is received positively? [8:35] What is the Goldilocks dilemma? [9:20] Katherine asks for some very pragmatic advice on how to navigate a boardroom interruption (we also learn there was a necessity to create a tip sheet for this specific issue!). [11:45] Doesn’t this whole “tips and advice for women” just generate more work for women just to stand shoulder to shoulder with their peers? [14:08] Katherine asks Andie to describe benevolent sexism, as it was an issue she always knew about but never managed to express clearly. [16:50] How are women to respond to benevolent sexism? [18:07] Andie shares an outrageous anecdote from her book. [20:34] What led Andie to become a lawyer? [24:11] Katherine asks Andie to share a moment when she advocated for herself. [27:33] How about a time when Andie experienced failure? And what about the recovery from such a failure? [32:30] Katherine asks if Andie has advice for women just out of law schools, in terms of picking a firm. Alternatively, what can law firms do to ensure a higher rate of senior women within their ranks? [33:55] What about advice Andie would have for her younger self? [35:05] Katherine asks Andie what the biggest risk she took was. [36:30] And finally, what motivates Andie to write when she could be spending this time just being the awesome lawyer that she is? [37:15] Katherine thanks Andie for participating on the Heels of Justice podcast, and she signs off until next time.   That’s it for this episode of Heels of Justice; if you like the stories we’re telling, please visit our website.

The very first piece that I wrote was about self-evaluation do’s and don’ts as to what women need to do in order to advocate for themselves.” “I was probably 13 years old and my social studies class went to the criminal court building and we saw the defense putting on a murder trial and seeing a piece of a murder trial from the defense side obviously makes you think the person is innocent. So I was going to find a way to save the world. I told my parents I was going to be a lawyer, and they knew a lawyer, so they asked him if he would take me to lunch and give me career advice — this is before women were really admitted to law school in any numbers (the ’60s) — so this man takes me to lunch and proceeds to spend the entire time telling me that I did not want to be a lawyer because nobody likes lady lawyers. ‘Lady lawyers are lonely, they don’t have any friends; I would never have a family, I would never get married; no one would ever love me!’ and that was his lunch. … When he assured me that it was a terrible thing, I concluded that I was going to do it, and I could manage those things.”   More about Andrea S.

Andie Kramer is a partner at international legal firm McDermott Will & Emery LLP, where she serves as the head of the Financial Products, Trading and Derivatives Group. She is also the founding chair and current co-chair of the firm’s Gender Diversity Committee. She has previously served on the Management Committee and Compensation Committee at McDermott Will & Emery. Outside of her practice, Andie is a nationally recognized advocate for the advancement of women, having helped countless women navigate obvious and subtle gender biases in their careers. Al Harris was a founding partner of the law firm Ungaretti & Harris, which later merged into the national law firm of Nixon Peabody LLP. All served as managing partner and as a member of the firm’s Executive and Compensation Committees. Al recognizes the barriers that women often are forced to navigate in male-dominated settings. Together with Andie, Al co-authored “Taking Control: Women, Gender Stereotypes, and Impression Management”. Together, Andie and Al feel strongly that the visible and invisible gender biases in today’s workplace culture can be overcome, and they believe that education and mentorship are the key to doing so. Especially in today’s #MeToo environment, it is more important than ever that organizations be prepared to reflect on their company cultures and bring gender equity to their workplaces. — It is a fact that our modern society is more aware of the prevalence of gender bias and workplace discrimination than ever before. But are we, as leaders, doing all we can to tear down gender barriers and recognize our own biases, whether external or internalized? Andie Kramer and Al Harris are subject-matter experts with two very different perspectives on gender bias, but they share the same conclusions and beliefs on how to make workplaces be more fair, open, and equitable. Both are legal professionals, but while Andie has had to personally experience gender bias in her career journey, Al has recognized the problem as an outsider looking in. Despite their different viewpoints, they are both dedicated to raising awareness and educating organizations on how to handle these challenging issues. In this episode, Andie and Al share their own points of view on gender bias and its detrimental effects on workplace health, culture and morale. From obvious and blatant discriminatory statements to more subtle microaggressions, from pay inequities to gender differences in mentorship opportunities, our “enlightened” modern society still struggles with the specter of workplace discrimination. The ripple effect of leadership is a powerful tool, and Andie and Al believe it can be used to bridge the gender gap in the workplace. But gender bias is a systemic habit that has a way of embedding itself deeply into organizations, and the true challenge comes from doing the necessary self-reflection to break out of the cycle of bias. Listen to the episode, and learn how to recognize and respond to gender bias in the most effective way possible.
