Hey McK and BCG fish - any news on Return to office dates? I believe it was Sep 1 across the board for all of us but wondering if that has changed?

McK is pushing required return to office until at least Oct (at least in NA); you can still opt in if you prefer, though. You must be vaccinated and show your card to be permitted to attend offices in person rn, however. (I assume this is NA wide, but has definitely been communicated to my office.)

Joined a well-regarded ID/MedMal Defense firm (50+ attorneys) to start its commercial litigation group 10 years ago. Have had success in growing practice/group and bringing in good clients, but perception is reality, and being at an ID firm is a huge obstacle for getting commercial work. Anyone crack this code, turn an ID firm into “full service”? My best idea is to target 3-4 laterals with decent/modest books, make them great deals to come over, and market it as a rebrand.
