Sheppard Mullin is pushing its official return-to-office date to Feb. 7, due to a combination of the holiday season, travel plans, the omicron variant and guidance from medical experts, according to a memo sent to all personnel on Thursday.

Beginning Feb. 7, the firm is asking teams, including partners, attorneys and professional staff, to come into the office together at least three days a week, as part of a return plan that prioritizes team-based communication, intentional flexibility and well-being.
