A New Way To Rank Biglaw Firms: Employee Vaccination Rates
How does your firm measure up in the fight against COVID-19?
Ninety percent is a wonderful vaccination rate. I think anywhere north of 75% is positive. Obviously the higher the better.
— Jonathan Segal, an employment partner at Duane Morris who works with clients to create vaccination policies, commenting on the numerous Am Law 200 firms that are now touting their high COVID-19 vaccination rates for attorneys and staff.
Thus far, the Am Law firms claiming to have current employee vaccination rates of 90% or higher for U.S. employees are Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld; Arent Fox; Dickinson Wright; Hanson Bridgett; O’Melveny & Myers; Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati; Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler; and Ropes & Gray. Am Law firms that claim 90% or more of their personnel are currently vaccinated or will be vaccinated by their return-to-office deadline include: Ballard Spahr; Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton; Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr. Smaller and midsize firms claiming to currently have more than 90% of their employees vaccinated are: Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger; Kline & Specter; and Sanford Heisler Sharp.
