Unvaccinated Lawyers Will Not Be Allowed To Enter This Biglaw Firm

Getting vaccinated is 'the least that we can do for ourselves, our families and each other as part of our community obligations,' says the firm's managing partner.'

[We will] require that all employees, other than those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical or religious reasons, be fully vaccinated before Sept. 13. …

Having all of our employees vaccinated not only helps protect the health and safety of the Mintz community, this requirement also safeguards the health of our clients and others who visit our offices. We will expect clients, vendors and others who enter our offices to provide proof of vaccination (and we will provide for protocols for visitors who cannot provide such proof).

— an excerpt from a memo written by Bob Bodian, managing partner of Mintz, detailing what the firm’s return to the office will look like. Employees may return voluntarily starting on July 6, and at that time, those who are vaccinated will no longer need to wear masks or socially distance from colleagues. Those who are unvaccinated will not be allowed in the building and will continue to work remotely until September, because “some employees … have compromised immune systems, and we have an obligation to do our best to protect them, and everyone else, particularly when protection is readily available.”
