Answer
Legal firms with 250 or more employees will be required to publish gender pay gap information by 4th April
Partners and Limited Liability Partnership members are likely to meet the definition of employees but are not counted for the actual gender pay calculations. This is because their pay is based on profit sharing, which cannot be readily compared with regular pay.
