Our employees deserve as much notice as we can give them about our policies, especially with regard to the pandemic, which is a sensitive issue for many people, and understandably so. We want to continue to lead on this issue, both among law firms and among employers generally.

— Shanin Specter, founding partner of Philadelphia-based Kline & Specter, commenting on his firm’s new requirement that all employees receive COVID-19 booster shots. Kline & Specter was one of the first Philadelphia law firms to issue a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, and all but seven of its 150 employees have received their first rounds of vaccines. Employees at the firm who have requested medical or religious exemptions from vaccination work at the office on a separate floor and wear masks.
