The firm, which has offices in Belfast and Dublin, currently offers newly-qualified solicitors a starting salary of £45,000 (roughly €53,400) in London and £32,000 (€38,000) in other parts of the UK.

These could rise to £55,000 (€65,200) in London and £40,000 (€47,400) in other parts of the UK following a review which is currently under way, according to The Lawyer.

A spokesperson for the firm told the website: “We do not have a single NQ salary due to the range of work type and specialisms we have. These figures are under review at present and will be updated as part of our salary review process later this year.”
