No More Chores at Corrs; Holiday Bonanza as Lawyers Offered Money for Nothing

Posted by The Spy | Posted in Corrs Chambers Westgarth, GFC Redundancies | Posted on 6.20pm

If anyone is curious why www.jetstar.com.au experienced a temporary outage yesterday, look no further than the offices

A Corrs lawyer throwing in the towel
of Corrs Chambers Westgarth. In a staggering move, the Corrs partnership revealed yesterday that it had calculated a stifling equation to respond to the global economic environment; to give lawyers money for nothing.

Corrs has offered staff a 12 month leave of absence on an incredible 20% pay. An average 3rd year senior associate would pocket approx $30,000 under the scheme for doing … no chores at Corrs!

Holidays on the house! Crack out the bubbly!

A firm spokesman said in a statement:

‘we are doing what we can to manage overcapacity where we have it, including offering flexible working arrangments to our staff.’

No inside reports from any Corrs Firm Spies, but we invite emails on holiday plans for the forthcoming year!
