Quinn Emanuel Gives Lawyers $2K, Says “See You In A Week”

The litigation firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan has already taken some unusual steps to promote a refreshing work environment, including doing away with business attire at the office. But a recent offer it made to associates, in an email from partner John Quinn, breaks new ground. The firm will give them $2,000 they can use to go anywhere in the world for a week. The deal is, though, they need to keep working. That means 24/7 availability, with actual travel time limited to weekends. And, the email says, “if your work assignments are such that you really can’t do them remotely, then wait until next year.”
