Partners are slightly more likely (29 per cent) to see home-working as positive (as regards profitability) than as negative (24 per cent) in their law firms. Larger firms are more likely to allow more time to be spent working from home. The research is published in the Survey of American Lawyers at Major Law Firms: Policies on Work from Home.
