WilmerHale is navigating the challenges of remote work and in-office requirements by implementing a hybrid schedule of three office days per week chosen by associates. However, starting in 2024, the firm informed associates that their adherence to this policy would be considered in future performance evaluations, particularly affecting bonuses. Notably, associates deemed significantly non-compliant have seen a 25% reduction in their bonuses, marking a strict enforcement of the policy that diverges from typical industry practices. This approach reflects ongoing shifts in workplace dynamics within Biglaw firms as they seek to balance flexibility with productivity.
Associates at WilmerHale face reduced bonuses if they are significantly out of compliance with the firm's new hybrid work schedule, a shift affecting their performance assessments.
In 2024, WilmerHale mandated three in-office days for associates, making attendance compliance critical for advancement and bonus determinations.
