What firms (especially in California) are still embracing WFH whole heartedly and also hiring senior associates in the current market? My firm seems to suddenly be trying to copycat Kirkland by mandating 3 days in office. I love my firm despite the soul crushing aspects inherent to my practice area but I love my home office more than anything else in my professional life ever since I graduated law school. If all the firms are doing this BS now would be good to know so I can call my therapist now

I think there are firms that are still pretty WFH positive. Like Cooley, Goodwin, and Orrick. I really think that’s a way some of the firms outside the top 20 can differentiate themselves for talent going forward. It blows my mind that more firms aren’t embracing it.

My firm is super chill on face time. I go in maybe once a month and honestly I feel like that's more than others. The only downside is they didn't match the newest market raises. The WLB and ability to remote work the vast majority of the time is worth it though.

Which firm?

Goodwin definitely hiring seniors and doesn’t care a whit (for corporate) how often you come to the office. Feel free to DM if you want to chat.

Also happy to chat about Goodwin, they’ve been extremely down with the WFH (and fully remote)
