Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom is asking its City lawyers to take a one-year sabbatical on a reduced salary. The US firm is offering its London associates a 12-month sabbatical on one-third of their usual pay, with those taking up the scheme guaranteed a job once the year is over. Skadden's rates in London see a newly-qualified lawyer receiving £75,000 before bonuses, with a lawyer with one year's experience on £84,000.The move is an expansion of the firm's 'sidebar' programme, which was announced in the US earlier this year, with the initiative now rolled out across Europe.
