An article in the Globe this weekend noted that Aird & Berlis recently increased their parental leave policy to 6 months paid for all (including non-birth) parents. My firm is still at 17 weeks…

Wondering if any other firms have announced changes.

I noticed the same. We haven’t made that change yet, but you can sure that I’ll be asking about it.

I am aware of several biglaw or Bay Street firms that are now at 6 months / gender neutral, though I think many are still at 17 weeks for birthing parents only which was previously the standard. It's mostly through word of mouth / friends of friends though so I don't feel like I can share which firms. If your firm has an associate committee you could raise this, as no doubt your talent people have a good sense of which firms are offering which benefits.
