Blame it on the pandemic. Law offices throughout the country are finally tiptoeing into the virtual world.
For most professions, this is nothing new: More than half of professionals worked remotely at least half the week before the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in March, according to International Workplace Group research. But law firms always do things at their own pace. According to the 2019 ABA TechReport, roughly 70% to 90% of law firms across all sizes other than solo firms primarily utilized traditional office spaces. For solo firms, approximately one-third were home-based.

It’s no secret that small businesses are suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it shouldn’t be a surprise that nonprofits are, too.
Hope Restorations, Inc. executive pastor Chris Jenkins pulled up to the Kinston Community Center Wednesday, Nov. 9, to collect kitchen items donated to Lenoir-Greene United Way by Electrolux to help his non-profit organization.
Electrolux’s corporate office recently contacted United Way to help a community where a local Electrolux plant is located with its Stocking Kitchens With Hope shopping event. The dishwasher manufacturer donated an 18-wheeler truckload of $150,000 worth of kitchenware amid the pandemic to nonprofits of Kinston.
