The Covid-19 pandemic has irrevocably changed our professional and personal lives. Since March 2020, solicitors have been working and supervising junior staff and trainees remotely.
The pandemic has changed the way we view working arrangements and as offices open up many firms and organisations are considering a hybrid model, with some form of remote working alongside time spent in the office.
We want to support our members through this transition, so we have produced guidance which sets out areas of good practice that firms and organisations should consider when deciding working arrangements, to ensure junior staff and trainees are appropriately supervised and supported when working remotely.
