Fewer Biglaw Firms Are Offering Paid Time Off To Encourage Voting, Volunteering During Election 2024
Briefly

During the 2020 elections, many Am Law 100 and 200 firms committed to making Election Day a paid civic holiday. However, in 2024, this trend has drastically declined.
Mintz stands out this year as the only firm to actively publicize a paid day off for employees on Election Day, highlighting a significant reduction in similar offerings across the industry.
Many law firms, traditionally committed to facilitating voter participation, have not confirmed if they will provide full days off like they did in 2020, reflecting a worrying trend.
In contrast to 2020, in which firms offered substantial support for voting, this year, the majority of firms are only adhering to minimal state laws regarding time off.
