Law Society shares pay gap info

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.'
