@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky One firm encouraged colleagues to share photos of their home office setup or with their kids, or from walks with their dogs. Nice thing is firm asked people to weigh in on what they wanted to see going forward, with working in the office and...

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky "There's a limit to how much fun and games you can have on Zoom."
"It's a little weird having happy hour drinking a glass of wine staring at a screen." #remoteworking #Legalweek22

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky Partner said biggest impact to culture was when onboarding new employees-you could develop relationships but always different from those you'd worked with in person. "We were to some extend tiding over until we could meet in person."...

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky Moderator turns now to discussion of how COVID impacted the Big 3: Culture, Productivity & Development. #Legalweek22

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky One panelist notes they worked heavily with Microsoft Teams, @SurePointTech, and mobile apps to ensure attorneys could capture their billable time, etc. #Legalweek22

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky Several panelists note that moving to the cloud increased security, and tech was a big factor in helping attorneys develop their business development skills for working remotely with clients. #legalweek22 #futureoflaw

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky LOL-Moderator points out that "Zoom" is a four-letter word. #Legalweek22

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky One firm said every day was like Fridays before #COVID - "It was pretty hard to catch an attorney on a Friday." @SurePointTech #Legalweek22

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky Watched budget-able to cut costs on travel and expenses-and able to ensure attorneys, paralegals and such were able to have everything they needed in home office to get their work done. #legalweek22

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky While Finance folks were concerned about a dip in billable hours during #COVID, they realized attorneys had much more time to work without travel and commutes. #Legalweek22

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky Partner mentions that for litigators, shift to virtual court proceedings was different from only occasionally having telephonic hearings before #COVID. Litigators across industry shared tips on how to depose via Zoom. #Legalweek22

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky Director of Mkting mentions that prior to covid, all the leaders were all wearing a lot of hats, but now also having to all take on HR and IT hats. And generally be cheerleaders through all the changes. #Legalweek22

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky LOL-the moderator (@SurePointTech CEO) jokes that he'll be leading the witnesses and hear no objections.

@SurePointTech @NLawGlobal @TarterKrinsky I like how diverse this panel is, not just in gender and age but in variety of roles and size of organization. #nomanel #nowanel
