Allen & Overy has announced it will close its hub in Vauxhall, an office that was designed to enable easier remote working, just 18 months after its launch.
The decision to end the project, which the firm had hoped would office staff a better work-life balance by cutting commute times, coincides with the Magic Circle firm's pay gap reports for gender, sexuality and diversity.
A&O head of diversity Jo Dooley told Legal Week: "We wanted to test the boundaries of how we could support people. Since it's been open, a small group has used it but it hasn't been big enough to commit to it permanently. We've consulted with those who did use it and made improvements to the technology people use for remote working to make it easier for people to work from home."
