Business Confidence
Optimism is a key characteristic of any leader. With that in mind, it is perhaps no surprise that those involved in the management of law firms or performing the role of partner are confident in the year ahead – even in the dark days of the pandemic in our 2020 survey 90% of respondents said they were confident about the future - and that was before a vaccine had been identified.
The business case for financial wellbeing
Imagine a way to improve your employees' performance by 25%, without radical organisational change.
Cyber Risk for Law Firms
The legal sector is a highly attractive target for cyber security threat actors due to the sensitive client information and large sums of money that law firms routinely handle. Senior leadership must be engaged with cyber risks and ensure active backing and support for security management initiatives spanning people, processes and technology.
