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.’
