In a firm announcement on Tuesday, it said that all timekeepers will now be able to annually designate up to 25 hours of work and activities related to sustainability projects as billable time.
Activities that fall under the ‘sustainibility project’ bracket could include attending workshops, organising sustainability related meetings or joining other external sustainability partnerships, such as the Net Zero Lawyers Alliance.
