Editor’s letter – April 2020
There’s no doubt that the industry, or all of humanity for that matter, is going through some tough and stressful times. The April issue of LPM doesn’t only focus on the pandemic for just this reason – read up on all the other things that still matter deeply to your business: people strategy, tech, risk and compliance and more. I hope this month’s magazine gives you some sense of normality.
Join us on p15 for our write-up of LPM South conference 2020, which of course, took place pre-lockdown. Josh Adcock reports in about the most important part of an SME law firm: its people.
If you are indeed after some insight or guidance for this new working environment, Michael Burne at Carbon gives some advice for SME law firms facing the pandemic (p5). And George Bisnought at Excello Law, discusses agile working arrangments (p20).
Also in this issue, check out our special supplement on risk from p23. I chat to risk and compliance experts at SME law firms to get the lowdown on the changing risk landscape – from regulation to technology, Brexit even (remember that?), and more.
I also have an announcement for you LPMers: due to the current situation, LPM will be on a print holiday until further notice, which means we’ll only be publishing the digital version each month – browse past issues here:
