The legal head of top betting conglomerate GVC Holdings has criticised the concept of top law firms protecting partner drawings at the expense of their junior staff.
Michael Leadbeater said that GVC would reconsider its relationships with firms if partners were found to be “offloading the risk and the price” of the COVID-19 outbreak onto its more junior lawyers and non-fee-earning colleagues via furlough schemes or redundancies.
