About the Event
As we look toward a post-pandemic world, many law firms are wondering what it will be like to return to the office after working remotely for so long. How will the lessons learned in 2020 translate into workplace strategies of the future?
Beyond adapting work-from-home policies, law firms will confront decisions on commercial real estate.
-Will they expand or downsize office space?
-Sprawl to the suburbs or remain in the city?
-What safety protocols will be built into office design and policies?
-How will the workspace of the future affect company culture?
Join us on March 31st, to learn from expert panelists sharing their experiences and tips on how to approach the evolving workplace. If you are making return-to-office plans for your organization, now is a critical time to discuss strategies with leadership and employees.
