Four-Day Attendance Mandates Meet Reality: Partners Hope Associates Show Up, But Aren’t Holding Their Breath – Above the Law

Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,

Quote
of
the
Day
.


I
continue
to
believe
that
firms
requesting
four
days
in-office
aren’t
really
expecting
it
or
are
likely
to
achieve
it.
But
it’s
the
hope
that,
‘The
more
days
we
ask
for,
the
more
days
they’re
likely
to
show
up.’

concerning
whether
Biglaw
firms
will
become
“more
rigid”
on
their
four-day
office
attendance
requirements.
The
