I would hope that if the firm did what it needs to do to encourage our people—because we share a commitment to the firm and each other—that they would do that once it’s generally available and absolutely safe and there’s no other issues.

I hope we don’t get there. I think we can do it from an encouragement point of view.

— Winston & Strawn chairman Thomas Fitzgerald, in comments given about encouraging employees to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, during a roundtable discussion on the future of the law firm office. Although he’d prefer encouragement to be enough, Fitzgerald said he’s still not ruling out mandating vaccination for a return to the office.
