A top 40 U.K. firm has reported that its partner pay gap favoured women last year for the first time in its 242-year history.
Trowers & Hamlins, which employs more than 700 people across offices in the U.K., Middle East and Far East, has said that mean pay for its female partners was 0.8 percent higher than the figure for men in the 12 months to April 2018. Female partners make up 40 percent of the firm's partnership.
Law firms have begun to include partners in their gender pay gap reporting in the past year as part of a wider push to increase transparency in the sector.
