Top 50 Biglaw Firm Rolls Out Incredible Bonus-Eligible Time-Off Policy
“Thanks to the pandemic, it’s been a year since lawyers were forced to leave the comforts of their offices and adapt to working from home on a semi-permanent basis. The thought of working from home used to be seen as a somewhat of a luxury, but after doing it for 12 months straight, it’s become simply exhausting. When your home is your office and your office is your home, the concept of work-life balance is no more, especially for lawyers who thought they were always ‘on’ even before the coronavirus crisis. One firm has come up with an amazing solution for this problem,” writes Staci Zaretsky in Above the Law’s Biglaw.
“Orrick — a firm that brought in $1,158,537,000 in 2019 gross revenue, placing in at No. 31 in the most recent Am Law 100 rankings — is offering everyone (i.e., staff, associates, of counsel, career associates, and partners) the chance to truly ‘unplug.’ The firm will credit 40 hours of bonus-eligible time for everyone to sit back, relax, and stop doing work.”
