Back
at
the
start
of
office
reentry,
we
asked
our
audience
to
compare
their
desire
for
higher
pay
with
their
desire
for
remote
flexibility.
We
learned
that
it
would
take
a
30%
pay
increase
to
persuade
over
half
of
our
readers
to
voluntarily
abandon
remote
work.
Four
years
later
—
after
much
cajoling,
incentivizing,
and
issuing
of
demands
—
law
firms
appear
to
be
settling
into
a
new
normal,
according
to
a
survey
by
Maptician.
Law
firms
in
major
cities
are
seeing
office
attendance
around
55%-60%,
with
Tuesdays
peaking
and
Fridays
hitting
lows.
This
marks
a
drop
from
the
90%
or
higher
pre-pandemic
attendance
rate,
the
survey
says,
citing
a
2020
CBRE
report.
With
fewer
attorneys
in
the
office,
some
firms
are
looking
to
reduce
space
per
attorney,
and
some
are
investing
in
amenities
amid
a
“flight
to
quality,”
the
report
says.
“Regardless
of
the
approach,
most
firms
are
moving
toward
intentional
workplace
planning,
supported
by
data,
policy,
and
technology.”
