Tammy Baldwin was quoted in “The Future of the Big Law Office Is Now, Thanks to Covid-19,” an article in Bloomberg Law, regarding Perkins Coie’s hybrid arrangement for attorneys and staff returning to work.

“What we’re calling it is flexibility within a framework,” Tammy, the firm’s Portland, Ore.-based chief of business operations, said in an interview.

In Seattle, Perkins Coie launched the first of several office revamps in January 2020, but the shift to remote work due to the pandemic gave changes planned across the firm new momentum. Big Law firms preparing to bring lawyers back after more than a year of working from home have had to get creative about how they design offices and use space in the long term, a shift from their historically staid attitudes about their workplaces.
