Biglaw firms are mainly implementing hybrid work policies post-pandemic, with 55.9% using flexible arrangements and 39.5% fixed. Only a minor percentage, 4%, have office-first policies, while 0.6% implement remote-first. Most firms, 82%, require attendance on specific days, typically asking for three days in-office, which has been standard for years. Some firms now demand four or five days in-office, like Sullivan & Cromwell. The shift shows evolving mandates on return-to-office strategies.
The latest study by Savills Research indicates that 55.9% of Am Law 200 firms are using flexible hybrid policies, while only 4% maintain an office-first approach.
82% of Am Law firms require specific days in the office, with nearly half mandating three days, remaining a common standard for several years.
Three days in the office is considered the norm at Am Law 100 firms, according to a survey by Savills Legal Tenant Practice Group in early 2023.
Some firms have adopted stricter policies requiring four or five days in the office, with notable firms including Davis Polk, Latham, and Sullivan & Cromwell.
