Positive Intuition and Pandemic Aftermath
Umansky believes that coronavirus issues will dominate the 2021 trends unopposed. Many law organizations have fast-tracked means of pivoting and adapting to the tough economic situations, and how to address the key issues. Therefore, a host of contemporary or permanent changes should be expected in 2021.
The law sector is not expected to upend in 2021, instead, Umansky believes that the raging coronavirus will even accelerate, and worsen the situation in the industry. Even the originally positive trends may not be beneficial anymore. Therefore, the following trends are expected;
Increased Remote Workplace Versions
The coronavirus pandemic can be managed by maintaining a safe social distance. This forced many firms to close and clear the staff from the office or other work centers. People have been working from him, and so companies have become flexible over time, making this a dominant trend in 2020.
Therefore, firms need to establish initiatives and programs meant to encourage and support the workers to be more productive. The home environments might not be favorable to many because of the frequent distractions, and Feeney says that it is upon the companies to make the environment suitable.
Relationships Enforcement
One can no longer rely on internal and external relationships to build formidable connections during the COVID-19 era. The pandemic has caused uncertainty, thereby breaking ties in an organization. However, customers still want guidance in this period, and so the company should enforce measures such that the workers can counsel and advise them accordingly.
Therefore, 2021 will be marked by maintaining and building up internal relationships in the law industry. However, it will demand a lot of transparency, frequency as well as targeted communication to the entire personnel. The efforts will draw all the stakeholders on board, and the company will survive the turbulent COVID-19 pandemic.
Emphasis on Technological Reinforcement
The coronavirus pandemic might have wreaked havoc, but the digital support firms have benefited in disguise because many opportunities have been uncovered globally. Accessing the technology tools and software and being more productive is important during this era. However, the technological support agencies should offer reliable remote assistance in case the workers experience some technical hitches.
New and improved software models seem to be more attractive in 2021 because they serve the remote workforce accordingly. These versions can also render technical support. Videoconferencing technology needs a better perspective because it is more indented to investments meant to bolster remote workers, draw closer lateral candidates, and facilitate a more feasible client interface.
Revisit the Real Estate
Now that many people are working remotely, they desire to decrease their footprint, therefore, Feeney thinks that companies will consider reducing the square footage. Since a majority of the employees work from home, the agencies are slowly reducing the square footage by moving to smaller office spaces. This trend is expected to grow further in 2021 thereby saving along on the firms.
Awareness in Cutting Costs
Matthew Feeney expects that cost management, especially the one connected to real estate will continue to be a priority, but claims that caution should be upheld. Feeney believes that cutting costs might not solve any challenge, especially post-pandemic ones targeting the law sector.
Over the 2008 Recession, Feeney and his partners had to endure an unpredictable and volatile environment, and so had a difficult time. These two crises differ in many ways, but the blueprints for solving them are unique. Matthew Feeney believes that one should remain flexible by remaining committed to the contemporary strategies, and concentrate on the prevailing robustness. One should then cut the cost controllably because this is what firms do in times of uncertainty to marshal resources for an extended period.
Reducing costs with the hope of a quick recovery might be difficult for any firm because the gamble can turn soar. Feeney discourages the idea and instead recommends regaining the enthusiasm that helps to establish the firm.
In It for Longer
Many industries will focus on the most promising opportunities because over the COVID-19 pandemic the instances of economic uncertainty will keep resonating. Therefore, business owners will take basic actions to balance their financial situations.
The financially flamboyant companies will get significant opportunities, and even the new investors will get new opportunities, something hard even in the pre-pandemic era. In 2021, law firms must be action-oriented and more aware regarding inclusive and diverse workforces in the entire corporate landscape.
