Law firms are the epitome of an office-centric industry, but according to the latest Law Firm Benchmarking survey from JLL for San Diego, attorneys are staying home. Per the survey, 90% of law firms in the San Diego market plan to adopt a hybrid work strategy that will allow employees to split their time between the office and remote work.

Most employees will get to spend the bulk of their time at home. According to the survey results, only 7% of firms will require attorneys to come into the office four-to-five days a week. Even more surprising, 41% of firms said that attorneys won't be required to come into the office at all.

Office staff is a different story. Most of the firms surveyed said that office administrative staff will be required to come to the office more frequently than attorneys. Only 30% of firms said that office staff won't be required to make an in-office appearance at all, and 18% of firms said that office staff would be required to come into the office four-to-five days a week.
