"Who would have thought that in 2025, Biglaw firms would be forced onto the front lines in a battle for the rule of law against the president? Faced with retaliatory executive orders, four firms chose to challenge the unconstitutional orders in court, and each one that did was granted summary judgment. One of those firms is Jenner & Block, and after a year of protracted litigation, it's now calling attorneys into the office on a more regular basis."
"If we are going to invest in space, we need to use it fully. Major firms across the legal industry are increasingly moving to 4 and 5 days in-office attendance. And so, as we invest in new office space, stay in-line with our peers, and, most importantly, prioritize the interest of maintaining the Jenner culture that sets us apart and carries us forward on behalf of our clients and each other, we believe in-office collaboration is essential to excellence in our work and service,"
In 2025 several Biglaw firms litigated retaliatory executive orders, and four firms that challenged those orders won summary judgment. Jenner & Block, after a year of protracted litigation, will require U.S. and London associates to work Monday through Thursday beginning March 1, 2026, up from a current three-day requirement. The firm reported $682,158,000 gross revenue in 2024 and ranks No. 83 on the Am Law 100. Jenner stated that recent hiring and investments in new office space require fuller utilization, and that in-office collaboration is essential to excellence; many major firms now mandate four days in-office.
