How many people are back in the office vs. WFH? What area and how many employees? Are you seeing clients, doing in person mediations, depos, etc?

Court is closed except for the awful remote status conferences and hearings in Connecticut. Covid still pretty high and clients don’t want to come in for meetings, and I don’t want to see them, either. With adequate precautions, they could open the courts for trials. There’s plenty of space in our courtrooms to conduct hearings in a socially distanced way with face masks. I wish they would get going- but the court staff/judges get paid every week regardless of how many cases are disposed of.

Combination - when I don’t have court (we are almost all in person here for court) I’m usually 1 full day in the office, 4 days WFH. I do family law. We see clients in the office with a lot of precautions. I work in the Southeast.

Back in the office. 6-8 employees. Seeing all clients virtually except in the very rare case where they do not have access to technology, we will do an in-person meeting.

Our firm is still almost entirely WFH. Most of our courts are remote with a few exceptions. All my client meetings, depositions, etc. are over Zoom and have been since March 2020. If we do want to or have to be in our office, we alert everyone via calendar notice and have strict limits on the number of people allowed in the office at once (no more than 6 in our office of 16).

Massachusetts: courts are closed for in-person except rare occasions; everything is Zoom. My office is mostly WFH, with some people choosing to be in the office (WFH does not work for me) and we communicate with the rest of the team (small firm) who will be in the office and when. Masks off if alone in individual offices; masks on if around anyone. Office is closed and locked to the public. Client meetings, consults, depos, etc. are all remote except if a client needs to drop something off.

WNY, 15 in our office but like 150 in the org, I think?: almost entirely WFH, I come in once a week for an hour or so to pick up files for the week. I don’t see clients except through a slit in the door. We don’t have mediations and depos, we’re too rural.

I go back and forth between WFH and going into the office. My firm encourages everyone to WFH, and most do or do what I'm doing. A few die-hards have been going in all along. Support staff cycles in and out, 50% at a time. Under 100 attorneys across two locations in one state.

Almost entirely WFH. NW. 86 employees. No clients are allowed on the floors that house our office suite. We have a dedicated space on the first floor of our building for mandatory ink signings and that space (a nightclub) is also a remote courtroom for socially distanced in-person mediations, depositions, and reference Judge hearings/trials.
