Common or uncommon for small firms to provide laptops to attorneys? We are mostly in the office now but we basically let people work from home whenever they want - if that makes a difference.

My firm is VERY small and I was provided a laptop. I’ve worked at various size firms, and I can’t recall a smaller one that didn’t provide a laptop.

I think it really depends on the firm. I've seen it both ways, but it usually comes from whether they're a successful small firm or if they expect to churn through early career folks.

like

The firm I work for provided an iMac after a year of working there. Until then, I used my personal laptop.

We have laptops in the office docked to monitors so the laptop can be taken home, to cpurt, etc. if needed.

It depends on the firm. I have been at some that do and some that don't. Most I have been at do though.
