Are there any attorneys who work part time or work from home?

Care to disclose which non-profit?

I also have a friend who works as an attorney at Homeland Security- she works from home 4 days/week. many other fed govt agencies are also like this but I don't have the specific names. many non-profits allow it too. Remember, the working at home is a convenience to the employer, not just the employee. They save alot of money not having to have office space for everyone. All you need is a laptop and internet connection at home. these jobs are focused on production, so if you don't produce the minimum required work load, you won't last. they don't care when you do it as long as it's done on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. That's where the trust comes in and they can definitely measure your production.

Another DHS attorney, who is currently on maternity leave. I work from home 4 days a week, and I am in the office one day a week.

Are you at CIS? What sub agencies at DHS allow your schedule? I'm at DOJ and DHS is our client agency. People have transitioned from my office to DHS, so this might be a future possibility. Thanks.

NP here, really curious which component this is. I am at another component where 2 days/week is the [hard fought-for] max and as a result I am looking to leave. Would be nice to stay "in the family" if possible.

It varies widely. I provide all my own hardware and pay all my own utilities; I am happy to do so because teleworking is awesome and I do not think that employer-provided equipment would be very new. But, there are agencies that provide -- and require the use of -- company equipment. I believe that some may even subsidize the phone/internet bill up to a set amount.

I am looking for a way to meet people in my field, get out of the house and earn a little money unitl the baby is born. I'm not picky at all. I will even consider non-legal office work.

ROFL I work for a government contractor and we have law firm partners beating down our doors for jobs. I don't really think you can just pick up part time hours for a gov con.

Yeah, right.

From Fried Frank, McKenna and Baker Botts. Yup, we do.

Which part of HHS OGC allows telework? I interviewed at several components and got the sense that it was not allowed.

Bumping this thread to see if we can get some more ideas/responses. Thanks!

SSA attorneys can work three days from home. I heard VA attys also, not sure if 3 or 4 days.
But our work day is 8 hrs plus 30 min for lunch. How come some fed agencies pay you for the lunch period? Just curious.

I know there is a Mother Attorney thing in Nothern Virginia but it would be nice to know some other working moms/attorneys in DC. But maybe none of us have any time to put something like this together.

+1!!!!

I am the pp, and realized that this was not clear -- whether I was supporting the idea or the fact that none of us have time! I think it is a great idea. Even a casual brown bag lunch occasionally in someone's conference room, maybe with a general topic to discuss like: hiring a nanny, preschools, college applications (trying to be broad here!) etc.

The Women's Bar Association of DC has a working parents committee and they've hosted events like this in the past. http://www.wbadc.org/committees_forums#Working_Parents_Forum
