Law firms are being forced to adapt at an unprecedented pace to the unfolding global pandemic. Traditionally, firms were deliberate and late to respond to change, whether it be technological innovation or shifting market conditions. Today, however, law firms have no choice but to reprioritize and reconfigure their workflows and client relationships due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Further, there is a heightened imperative to honestly communicate and manage the expectations of the firms’ partnership and staff.
We want to get a sense of how associates are perceiving their firms’ responses to our current circumstances. In partnership with our friends at Major Lindsey & Africa, we are fielding a brief survey that looks to gain insight into such topics as:
- Communications transparency;
- Technological resources;
- Preferred methods of communication; and
- Long-term effects on the profession.
