The Covid-19 pandemic has shaken the fabric of society, disrupted the world economy, and has suddenly forced the implementation of telework as the new normal. The legal industry has not been spared, and in-house teams and law firms are now faced with a new reality, with unprecedented challenges that will either be temporary or will serve as a catalyst for lasting changes to the legal industry.
The panel of leading in-house counsel across different industries will be discussing the impact that Covid-19 has had in their daily operations, their interactions with their law firms, and the effect on their decision making process.
Topics included:
- What law firms can expect from their clients during and after the pandemic
- How firms can cooperate and communicate effectively with in-house teams, including what communications are a priority for in-house teams and how to avoid an avalanche of Covid-19 related information (aka “Infodemic”)
- Technology solutions to avoid work flow and communications disruptions
- Recommendations for alternative billing arrangements during a time of crisis
- Types of innovations in-house teams are expecting from their law firm partners
Lastly, the panel discussed the impact of the pandemic in their respective areas of business such as increased reliance on streaming models, what the future of organized global sports events may look like, and challenges to the supply chain and availability of basic consumer goods.
