Description:
The Corona virus has required virtually all businesses to re-think how they deliver services, and the legal industry is no exception. While a pandemic has to be the worst possible reason for any industry to evolve, the changes that the sector has embraced out of necessity will have long-term positive impacts on practitioners and their clients. Join Mike DeFrank as he explores what lawyers and legal consumers should expect in the “new normal”.
