Last week, I spoke with a lawyer who said they would only consider fully remote jobs. It’s a common stance, but here’s the reality: those roles are disappearing fast.
Heading into 2026, fully remote legal positions are becoming more rare. Unless your experience is highly specialized, insisting on 100 percent remote work dramatically narrows your opportunities.
And when you do apply for a remote role, you are not just competing with your local market, you are up against national talent.
If you want your next career move to succeed, consider hybrid. Flexibility is no longer optional, it is essential.
