Its attorneys and staff will have the “option” of working from home for part or all of a given week “going forward,” the law firm announced.

With nearly 300 lawyers, Barclay Damon operates from offices located in the Northeastern U.S. and Toronto. Its Syracuse office is in the Barclay Damon Tower at 125 E. Jefferson St.
