What biglaw firms in SF are best for work-life balance (what little exists in biglaw)? Are any firms still allowing folks to work from home most or all days of the week? I’m a 3rd year in litigation if relevant.

BM seems to allow ppl to work from home. I don’t see any consequences for associates that don’t go in. Also moving to a new office that doesn’t have any individual offices so we don’t think there will be any RTO policy.
