Slaughter and May, White & Case and Matrix Chambers are among the latest legal outfits to have committed to paying the Living Wage to their lowest-paid staff, including all outsourced employees.
The trio have joined a growing number of law firms, including Linklaters, Clifford Chance, Herbert Smith Freehills and Olswang, to have been accredited by the Living Wage Foundation (LWF).
The Living Wage is calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK, with accredited bodies agreeing to pay the rate as a minimum to all employees and contractors. It currently stands at £8.55 per hour in London and £7.45 outside of the capital, compared to the current minimum wage, which sits at £6.19.
