The number of lawyers seeking flexible work schedules in order to achieve a healthy work-life balance is on the rise. Karen Asner's firm, White & Case, recently formalized a flexible work-arrangement program that goes beyond simply allowing reduced work hours by providing a wider range of options -- from reduced workweeks or reduced annual hours to time off between assignments to telecommuting. Asner offers eight steps law firms can take to roll out their own flexible work programs.

There was a time when “flexible work arrangements” for lawyers meant that if you worked late on both Saturday and Sunday, a 10 a.m. arrival on Monday was permitted.
Now, however, both lawyers and nonlawyers seek flexibility to help achieve a healthy work-life balance. Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in July 2005 shows that nearly 30 percent of all full-time employees in the United States had flexible work schedules.[FOOTNOTE 1]
