Mintz and other law firms support Election Day voting, some with paid time off

Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo is once again giving its employees a paid day off for the 2024 Election Day, following its initiative from 2020. Despite this, many firms that previously offered full days off during the 2020 election have not confirmed similar plans this year. Firms like Hogan Lovells and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison are adhering to state-mandated PTO, typically offering two hours for voting. Notably, Mintz is also encouraging active civic engagement, such as poll-watching and legal assistance. Missouri-based Stinson is closing offices and having 60 attorneys volunteer for election protection. Meanwhile, many states offer limited or no time-off protections for voting.
