Not plaintiff firm specific, but keep in mind that the rules on remote may vary based on who you are. A jr. associate is likely to be on a much shorter leash for remote work vs a partner with a book. Firms are also more likely to allow remote work for lawyers who have already worked for them in an in-office capacity for a few years and have some compelling personal or business reason to go remote. All of this is to say that you shouldn't assume that because someone works remote for firm X that firm X will necessarily allow you to do the same if you go to work for them.

Fair point -- appreciate that a major factor in landing such an arrangement will depend on your contingent circumstances. That said, if people have insight into which firms, as a general proposition, are more receptive to such an arrangement, that would be much appreciated. (Unless it's pretty much entirely subject to personal circumstances, in which case that would be helpful to hear too.)
