Baker Donelson among best places to work for new dads




The law firm of Baker Donelson has been named among the 50 Best Places to Work for New Dads in a report compiled by Fatherly, a digital lifestyle guide for men entering parenthood. With a growing demographic of active and engaged millennial fathers, this first-of-its-kind report highlights the best paternity benefits offered by companies in the U.S.

Baker Donelson was highlighted for its father-friendly paternity leave policy. The firm’s gender-neutral parental leave policy allows for three weeks of paid leave for non-primary caregivers, which can be taken consecutively or used over a 20-week period. Primary caregivers are eligible to take 16 weeks of paid leave, which can also be taken consecutively or used intermittently over a 40-week period.

Fatherly’s report builds upon the work of the Boston College Center for Work and Families, leading experts, and other sources, in addition to direct outreach to companies regarding their specific programs and benefits.
