Shauna Clark
What are some of the major trends expected to impact corporations in 2021?
As Norton Rose Fulbright’s US Head of Employment and Labor, I have found that the pandemic has impacted different clients in different ways, with some facing unforeseen challenges and others evaluating new opportunities. Many organizations have been forced to downsize and require legal guidance through this process. Others have required legal advice as they respond to the demands of working from home and implement new state and local regulations related to COVID-19. I expect this need will continue for the next several months.
