Quinn Emanuel has pulled back on its work-from-anywhere policy, according to a report from Above the Law. The report does not detail exactly what changed, but it says the firm's approach to remote work remains more generous than what most large law firms offer.
Despite the scaling back, the report argues that Quinn Emanuel is still the best option in Biglaw for attorneys who prioritize flexibility. The firm's reputation for allowing remote work continues to set it apart, even as it tightens the policy.
For lawyers weighing their options, the takeaway is that Quinn Emanuel's flexibility, while reduced, still outpaces the industry norm. The report frames the move as a modest adjustment rather than a wholesale return to pre-pandemic office requirements.
