Pamela Rothenberg never actively sought to be managing partner of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice's Washington, D.C., office. But when she was offered the job in 2004, she saw it as a chance to shape the direction of the firm, especially for the associates. Now she's hoping to send a strong message to younger women -- that having a family is not incompatible with being a successful lawyer -- through her recent adoption of a baby girl. "I don't have a problem -- I have a challenge," she says.

When Pamela Rothenberg traveled to Guatemala to adopt her baby girl last year, almost no one at Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice had any idea that she was adding an infant to her family.
“I went to Guatemala on a Friday, came back and took the baby to the pediatrician on a Tuesday, and was back in the office — with the baby — on a Wednesday,” says the managing partner of Womble’s Washington, D.C., office.
