Workers at Lupton Fawcett Denison Till, which has offices in Leeds, Sheffield and York, will benefit from the move.

The voluntary rate is higher than the national living wage of £7.20 an hour for over-25s from April 2016. The firm has also agreed to go beyond the criteria and pay its legal apprentices the same rate.
