The survey found that 40% of individuals had been present when comments were made that were sexual in nature or disparaging of other people or groups at their law firm. 28% of individuals responded yes to being asked if they were ever made to feel that they needed to engage in sexual behavior or develop a personal relationship with someone at work to advance in their career.

Many of the experiences described by the respondents were perpetrated by individuals with important roles within their firms. As a result, the majority of respondents did not report negative behaviors because they feared retribution or because the people they would report to were themselves involved in the incidents described.
