It may take some years yet to truly catch on, but I feel that such ways of running law firms is the future we are headed to!

It's encouraging to see these humanizing changes in the legal work environment. I wonder if it represents a shift to focusing on holistic law - not just for lawyers and clients, but their support staff too? On a business level it makes sense if a law firm wants to retain quality staff. Offering true work-life balance options creates a win-win situation where employers create a more productive business because employees are more dedicated to their job due to the benefits it offers.
