The gender pay gap at the Law Society Group (the Law Society and Solicitors Regulatory Association), is ‘substantially lower’ than across the UK workforce as a whole, the group has announced.
Its 2017 report finds a 5.6% median pay gap (difference between the midpoints in the ranges of hourly earnings between men and women), compared to 18.4% UK-wide. A Law Society Group spokesperson said: ‘Around 60% of the Law Society group workforce is female and they are represented at all levels, including many middle managers in the upper quartile. Yet fewer women are in senior executive roles.'
