Latham & Watkins Requires NYC Attorneys to Return to Office Four Days a Week in Coming Year, Joining BigLaw Trend

Latham & Watkins, a prominent law firm, is requiring its attorneys in New York City to return to the office four days a week starting in the upcoming year. This move aligns the firm with a growing trend among competitors in the BigLaw sector, as firms increasingly emphasize in-office work. The decision comes despite many midlevel attorneys currently working in open cubicle environments, raising discussions about workplace dynamics in the legal industry.
