For one year, Norton Rose employees (including partners) would choose between a four-day week, a paid sabbatical of four to 12 weeks, or both.
Employees would earn 85% of their salary for the four-day week, while the sabbatical option would be paid out at 30% of base salary.
If approved, the scheme will run from May 1st, 2009.
Last month, the firm offered incoming trainees cash to defer their start dates.
