London firm SJ Berwin is considering introducing a standard flexible work schedule system. The firm wants to employ a system that would apply to all practice areas as well as non-fee-earning staff. One option would be to let people work less hours in quiet periods in return for working longer when they are working on a deal. Currently, some people work fewer days a week and others sometimes work from home. Other London firms like Simmons & Simmons and White & Case are introducing or already have implemented their own flexible working schemes.
