Law Firms Become More Open to Day-Officing

Law firms have been the last stand of traditional workplace strategy. Even as creative office, workplace hoteling and open space designs have grown in popularity, law firms have largely kept their traditional-style workplace design. However, the pandemic is unraveling that. A new report from Savills shows that law firms are breaking with the traditional model and adopting day-officing, a term that Savills uses to collectively describe hoteling, agile or remote working policies.

According to the firm’s most recent research, 41% of law firms are either already day-officing or are planning to implement a day-officing strategy and another 48% of law firms are interested in an alternative-type of workplace strategy and is continuing to evaluate work formats. Only 10% of law firms are not interested in pursuing or investigating these strategies.
