IMO the new requirements are just bollocks and a classic example of kicking the can down the road. Pointless knee jerk reaction to further control the supply.
It would be a cold day in hell before the cheap slave-driving small and mid firms increase TC pay if this is not mandated.
Some would in fact prefer to pay their trainees nothing if they could get away with it.
After all, a certain mid sized firm in particular had even gone on the record publicly back in 2017 to extol their act of offering traineeships at no pay, as a point of pride and public service - the tone-deafness was astounding and I don't see any reason why the less-than-exemplary prevailing culture in the small and mid tiers of the legal industry would have changed.
