The Risen Deep: Assessing Law Firm Operations in the COVID-19 Era
Even before the global health crisis thrust markets into chaos, cracks in the very foundation of a prevailing law firm-centric business model were already present as clients continued to exert greater influence over legal matters and forced firms to adapt in kind. Enter 2020. And with rote competition coalescing behind the Next Normal’s strange vicissitudes, one can easily appreciate the daunting task law firm executives face today. This session considers new operating guidelines in place across the profession. Our panel will address changes to organizational infrastructure, technology, remote working, real estate, and talent amidst such heightened uncertainty.
