Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
What’s
happening
in
corporate
America
bolsters
what
the
leader
of
a
firm
wants
to
happen
in
their
firm.
Sometimes
they’ll
use
that
to
their
advantage.
It
doesn’t
necessarily
show
up
in
the
policy
manual
because
it
didn’t
historically.
The
same
way
cultural
expectations
aren’t
always
black
letter
law
in
a
firm’s
policy
guide,
there’s
an
understanding
of
what’s
expected.
—
Kent
Zimmermann,
a
law
firm
strategy
consultant
with
the
Zeughauser
Group,
in
comments
given
to
the
American
Lawyer,
on
law
firm
attendance
expectations
going
forward
in
2025.
Although
Zimmerman
said
that
most
firms
would
be
unlikely
to
follow
their
clients’
policies,
the
possibility
for
stricter
attendance
requirements
reminiscent
of
pre-pandemic
norms
could
also
arise.
