FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Law Society has recommended a minimum salary for trainees, after a mandatory minimum was abolished last year by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Chancery Lane today recommends that firms pay trainees a minimum salary of £20,276 in London and £18,183 outside the capital. This compares to the mandatory minimum of £18,590 and £16,650 scrapped by the SRA with effect from August 2014. Since then, employers have been required to pay only the national minimum wage, currently £6.70 an hour. Full story - The Law Society Gazette
