Biglaw Firm's 'Hybrid' Working Model Includes Working From Home Up To 60% Of The Time

The firm is closing an office as part of this plan.

Remote working for a long period under the spectre of the pandemic has not been easy for anyone, but it has brought with it many benefits too, many of which our people have consistently told us they value highly.

We also know that people miss working together in a physical office space and as a firm we are keen to maintain the very many benefits that face to face interactions and collaboration brings to us and our clients. We think our hybrid working model will allow for the best of both.

— Rob Hill, Clyde & Co U.K. board chair, commenting on the firm’s plan to close one of its London offices under the auspices of a transition to new “hybrid” working model, where employees will work from home up to 60% of the time and sign up to book spaces in team “neighborhoods” while in the office. The firm is eliminating 82,574 square feet of office space, a reduction of 36%.
