Bringing your dog to the office may help you to relax while you’re billing your life away, but some of your coworkers may be sneezing all over their yet-to-be reviewed documents as a result.
If you can’t handle the smells emanating from your office, fear not, because one Biglaw firm is willing to stand up for your right to work without being assaulted by fetid funk.
