"I go to the office to get away from my children." Over lunch, a senior in-house lawyer blithely makes that confession to me. A mother of two who's married to a fund manager, she says she never seriously considered giving up her full-time job. "Are you kidding?" she says. "It would drive me crazy." For all the talk about women facing work/life balance dilemmas, there's a sector of lawyers who are parents and who are giddy (or maybe just relieved) that they have demanding jobs - and who don't feel guilty about it.
