Ashurst has broadened its parental leave policies globally following a review of its current offering.
For the first time, all of the firm's partners worldwide will be entitled to at least 18 weeks of fully-paid primary carer leave – traditionally maternity leave. In countries where the firm offers more generous packages – such as the U.K., which offers 26 weeks – it will remain the same.
Previously, the firm's primary carer leave entitlement across some jurisdictions was as low as eight weeks.
