Amid ongoing protests against ICE in downtown Los Angeles, civil unrest has led to a daily curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Law firms in the protest zone are encouraging remote work to ensure employee safety amid potential disruptions. Leaders like John Nadolenco from Mayer Brown have advised staff to avoid lingering in the area after hours and have supported a flexible work environment. Firms are keenly aware of both the protests and the uncertainties of commuting in the current climate, ensuring that their operations remain as normal as possible despite ongoing tensions.
"When the curfew was announced, I think we were most worried about the protesters' reaction to the announcement of the curfew, more so than the actual curfew itself."
"We certainly told our people, look, we don’t know what downtown is going to be like after dark, so I told folks they should feel free to leave so that they didn’t have to deal with either protesters or traffic."
