Law firms introduce Backup Care
Simmons and Simmons, Mayer Brown and Sidley Austin all launched My Family Care's Backup Care to their employees in September 2011
Nearly half of the UK top 20 law firms*, plus many smaller practices, now offer employer supported Backup Care.
These pioneering companies include Freshfields Bruckhaus Derringer, Herbert Smith, and Berwin Leighton Paisner.

Dan Flint, HR Director at Simmons and Simmons, explains why they felt the time was right for them to introduce Backup Care:
"We've introduced Backup Care as part of our ongoing commitment to providing a flexible working environment."
"We know through talking with our people that we need to help working parents and carers balance commitments in their working lives with unexpected family emergencies."
"Backup Care helps in many ways. It offers childcare, adultcare and eldercare as well as support for the individual themselves."
