Helpful resources for law firms in challenging times

Over the past few weeks, law firms like many businesses, have faced enormous challenges. Unfortunately, some have closed, but most have tried to evolve tackling new issues on a daily, even hourly basis. 

With social distancing and remote working becoming the new status quo, many have grappled with technology and overcome practical obstacles to continue functioning and providing legal services.

It’s no secret that certain practice areas will suffer, while others may sustain, maybe eventually flourish. While some firms have had to cut staff, others have been inundated by calls from concerned clients who also face the challenges this crisis has presented. 

Having had some time to contemplate the events of the past weeks, many may be thinking, ‘What next? How do we continue and how do we sustain?’ This edition of our newsletter contains links to useful resources and practical guides to help you and your staff navigate and survive through changing times – from using new technology to finding and retaining clients.

We hope you find the information useful.
