73200
The pandemic has been challenging for many junior litigators, so how can firms make sure they are providing the right support?

Writing in this week’s NLJ, Emma West of RPC & Caroline Phipps of LK Law, look at the opportunities and potential obstacles that lie ahead as legal professionals move to hybrid working.

West & Phipps, co-chairs of the Associates Committee of the Commercial Litigators’ Forum, set out the specific issues that may affect junior litigators, for example, the challenges of remote working, virtual networking and lack of in-person support. They suggest ways firms can best support their junior litigators to develop their practice.
