Ashurst has launched a redundancy review which could result in 80% of its 100-strong secretarial team in London being axed, while a handful of secretarial roles in the Middle East are also at risk.
Women will make up the majority of those in the firing line, with Ashurst stating in its March 2018 gender pay gap report that 122 of its 125 secretarial staff – or 98% – are female.
