The two entities together form the Law Society Group. For 2019, the Group median pay gap is 8.3% (by comparison, the UK median pay gap is 17.3%).
A spokesperson
for the Group said: ‘The main reason for the Group gender pay gap is the
continued imbalance of male and female colleagues in executive director roles
in the Group.
‘Around 60% of
the Law Society Group workforce is female including many managers in the upper
quartile―yet few women are in senior director roles. This disparity at very
senior levels also explains the mean bonus gap of 12.8% between males and
females.
‘There is
still much more to be done. The Law Society and SRA have targeted action plans
in place to address this challenge and the Group is committed to being a fully
inclusive workplace.’
