Two options are on offer, as of 1 May. The first is that people can work remotely for up to two days a week with their salaries remaining the same.
A spokesperson from the top-50 London-headquartered firm, which has seven international offices, said: ‘This is consistent with the approach taken by many City law firms.’
However, the firm may be the first to offer the second, full-time from home, option. The spokesperson said the firm looked beyond the Capital to recruit candidates working remotely to fulfil a small number of roles in its London office during the pandemic, and is now making this offer available to its current employees.
They said: ‘The packages we offered―including salaries, but also expectations―were different from what we offer our people who regularly work from the office in London.
‘We recently decided to open the option of fully remote working to existing employees as well.’
