This Biglaw Firm Won't Require Attorneys To Work A Set Number Of Office Days

Yet another firm bids farewell to the pre-pandemic status quo.

After Labor Day, we will not—as a matter of ordinary course—require a particular number of days in the office. Instead, we will continue to trust everyone to work with their practice group leaders and managers to determine the best workplace balance for providing exceptional service to our clients, strengthening our cultural glue and ensuring all members of our teams are trained, integrated and positioned for continued growth and success.

— An excerpt from a memo sent by Katten CEO Noah Heller and firm chairman Roger Furey, regarding the firm’s plans for a return to the office in the wake of the pandemic. Heller and Furey noted that the firm’s policy will provide associates with “the flexibility to continue to balance the demands of [their] professional and personal lives, and it will help us retain and attract the best talent in the industry and position our firm for even more success.”
