Bar Leadership Update: Impact of COVID-19 on the Legal Industry

Adjusting to the new normal

As the coronavirus pandemic persists, much of the initial impact of the virus has worn off, and many are beginning to adjust to the “new normal.”

Even as many places in the US begin to ease social restrictions, the coronavirus will have a longstanding impact on how businesses operate in the future—and we’re only now seeing what some of the long-term impacts of the pandemic will look like for law firm revenues and future client experiences.

In this 45-minute presentation prepared for the nation’s bar leaders, Jack Newton will walk through the data uncovered so far in Clio’s research.

Included in this presentation:

  • Detailed findings from Clio’s second round of research into the impact of COVID-19 on legal professionals
  • Analysis on attitudinal survey-data insights from lawyers and consumers
  • 30-minute presentation and 15 minutes of Q&A
