We don’t see this as work-from-home. We see this as work-from-anywhere. It’s very liberating. You don’t have to live near a physical office location or in a city where there is a physical office location. You have the freedom to live where you want to be. We are enabling people to organize their work around their life rather than their life around their work. And at the end of the day, those people are going to be more happy and more successful.
— J.Y. Miller, managing partner of Husch Blackwell’s brand new virtual office (referred to as “The Link”), commenting on all of the pros of the firm’s remote work offering. This week, the firm launched the new office with 50 staff members and nearly 40 lawyers, whose compensation remains unchanged. “I am convinced that this will be permanent,” Miller said. “It will expand. And it will be one of our largest offices in the firm.”
