Mid sized firm with offices in Northeast (incl. Boston which has been a hotspot of late). I work in another satellite office. We have had 2-3 emails in the past week. 14-day work from
home if you or a household member has been to China, Italy, Korea, Iran. Discouraging non-essential business travel. No restrictions on domestic travel. No restrictions on international travel other than you have to work from home if you go to one of the above countries. They’ve issued reminders on how to work from home, remote login re-training, etc.

Thanks. Encouraging people to work from home or not really?

My firm has sent out 2 emails. We are encouraged to self quarantine for 14 days if we are experiencing symptoms. The biggest thing is that they have wanted to ensure that everyone is able to remote connect to their work desktop from home so that work continues regardless of where we are.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm.

What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
