The firm says it will review the situation after two weeks and a small team will remain at the office to perform essential services.
Linklaters has moved its London workforce to remote working for at least a fortnight – the latest firm to enact working from home measures in light of the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
The office will remain open during the period, and a small team will “continue to operate… to maintain essential client services”, according to a spokesperson for the firm.
In a statement, the spokesperson added that the firm will review the situation after two weeks. It comes after the government recommended that the public work from home where possible on Mondayin order to delay the spread of COVID-19.
Last week, Law.com International’s Legal Week revealed that Linklaters was undertaking tests of its global remote-working capabilities by instructing large teams of staff to work from home.
