The Chicago HQ of McDermott Will & Emery is responding to economic pressures by canceling the single most important perk it offers to employees. And when I say “perk,” I mean “percolation.”
These are difficult times for our business and legal communities. We, like all law firms, are looking at expenses that can be pared without diminishing the quality of the legal services that we provide to our clients.
Effective immediately, we are suspending our coffee services in the 45th floor lobby. We will, of course, continue to provide coffee and drink carts for client meetings. We will also continue to have the Flavia coffee service available on each of our attorney floors and will provide coffee to our clients in our 44th floor reception area.
Those bastards. Those heartless bastards.
McDermott Will & Emery LLP, founded in 1934, is a prestigious international law firm headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
Well, formerly prestigious. Prestigious law firms have coffee.
It is one of the top 10 largest law firms in the United States and one of the 20 largest in the world.
