While many businesses are only now fully reopening their
offices, for most lawyers and law firms it has been "business
as usual" with a (home office) twist. By now, you are a master
of virtual meetings, paperless practice, and providing flexible
services in the face of unprecedented constraints.
As we transition from full-time remote to in-office or hybrid
work models, the communication and operational challenges we've
been working to address over the past couple of years will
continue, and it may bring about some new ones too.
As we grapple with finding the "new normal", there is
still legal work to be done. That document production deadline
might be creeping up or perhaps, now that many of our clients are
returning to the office, there is a new collection of documents to
review. You might have finally received that document production
from opposing counsel that was delayed due to the pandemic.
