Linklaters, Clifford Chance (CC), Herbert Smith Freehills and Olswang are among a number of law firms to have committed to paying the Living Wage to their lowest-paid staff, including all outsourced employees.

The firms join a raft of almost 100 companies to have been accredited over the last year by the Living Wage Foundation (LWF), which last week published a list of organisations to have adopted the scheme.
