Law firms and future of working - three perspectives

As countries previously in lockdown start slowly reopening, we can see how individuals and businesses react. I wanted to share three different perspectives I've come across:

  1. Full flexibility: Cooley won't require lawyers to return to the office this year
  2. Responsible return: Lowenstein Sandler will allow staff back to the office only if they are fully vaccinated
  3. Driven by clients: clients have already started to weigh in the work arrangements of their outside counsel. A recent memo by the chief legal officer of Morgan Stanley drew support and criticism for encouraging firms to have employees return to the office.

The incredible logistics of the Tokyo Olympics

The 2020 Olympics are in full swing, and they are an incredible feat.

It takes seven years of careful planning and masterful execution to make the three-week period run as smoothly as possible.

If you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes leading up to the games, you will enjoy this video (YouTube) šŸ“ŗ.
