Alexandra Graydon of Thomson Reuters reflects on the impact of Covid-19 within her corporate legal team and looks at how hybrid working could evolve in the future.
I was interviewed last year about how our legal department coped with the pandemic hit. I talked about how we adapted to remote work far better than expected, and the big role that tech played in making it all pretty seamless. That type of story is well told now. But, let’s be honest, there are a few more chapters on hybrid working to be written yet.
If you work in corporate legal, I’m sure you’ll agree that there’s always ‘more to do’. Long hours, long task lists, pressure to do more with less. And until recently, technology played a fairly minor role in how we got things done. The industry has been relatively slow to get onboard with digitalisation as a means of boosting productivity.
