Dozens of female lawyers who spoke with reporters say they believe a culture of sexual impropriety flourishes thanks to entrenched power imbalances.

“This is not a big firm versus little firm issue. It is a law issue. There is an arrogance in the profession. And there hasn't been a reckoning,” says Alexi Wood, a civil litigator in Toronto.
