Since March 2020, most law firms and legal organizations have adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic by allowing their employees to work remotely and transition to more flexible hours. For some lawyers with disabilities, teleworking has brought significant benefits, including increased access to their clients and colleagues and to more job opportunities.
Britney Wilson, an associate professor and the director of the Civil Rights and Disability Justice Clinic at New York Law School, hopes legal employers keep this in mind as they develop return-to-office policies. Recent studies have shown many employees enjoy their new arrangements and either don’t want to return to the office or would prefer a hybrid schedule.
