Slaughter and May To Review Remuneration Level

Increased pay for lawyers - that's PSLs. Slaughter and May's London office is looking to grow the number of what are euphemistically (but somewhat clinically) "PSLs" : that's professional support lawyers, didn't you know?

S&M partner Charles Randell said the firm is going in a different direction from other firms because they want to actively recruit PSLs in areas like corporate and finance and - here's the good part - they want to increase pay in line with the rises given to fee earning staff.


Slaughter and May has already introduced a 15% bonus for fee earners, whereas PSLs got just 3 per cent. Randell is heading the new review.
