McGovern Reid Court Lawyers gains Living Wage accreditation

Matthew McGovern

The Living Wage commitment will see everyone working at the firm receive a minimum hourly wage of £9.50.

Matthew McGovern, partner, said: “I’m delighted to have become an accredited Living Wage employer and particularly proud of the fact that we are first legal aid firm in Scotland to take this step.

“The chronic underfunding of legal aid continues to pose immense challenges for legal aid firms but, notwithstanding those challenges, we were determined to recognise the role that our staff have played in ensuring that some of the most vulnerable people in our society have been able to access justice during the pandemic.”
