In brief

Allen and Overy LLP and Wragge & Co have been named the legal profession’s best workplaces in a new survey. The pair are the only two law firms to feature in the annual rankings of the UK’s best workplaces, just released by the Great Place to Work Institute (GPTWI). Wragge makes the list for the eighth time, though this is the first time A&O has made the list. The rankings, which focus on the amount of trust employees have in their organisation, was topped by Google.
