Baker & McKenzie’s City office has teamed up with employee benefits company My Family Care to offer emergency care services for the firm’s London employees.

The new scheme, which will launch next week (16 November), will allow the US firm’s City staff to search for and book a qualified and vetted nanny or childminder in the UK at as little as 30 minutes’ notice. It will also enable staff to find home care for adult dependents in a location convenient to them.
