The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the legal profession to take stock of its working practices―how flexible should firms be?

In this week’s NLJ, Rachel Lewis, partner, Farrer & Co, considers what works best, and sets out the changes her own firm has introduced.

Lewis recalls that it soon became apparent that a ‘one size fits all’ policy wasn’t going to suit. Instead, the firm consulted with its people to gauge priorities and needs, subsequently choosing a 40% structure, and refurbishing its offices to fit the new style of agile working.
