The way that legal services are delivered has changed forever, driven largely by client expectations, employees’ demands for greater flexibility, and innovations in technology. This has resulted in many SME law firms questioning the effectiveness of their entire legal operations – from daily processes and habits through to workplace culture and the use of technology.

A law firm’s people, processes, and technology determines its workplace culture. To remain relevant and competitive in today’s market, law firms should foster an inclusive and innovative culture to avoid the sector’s reputation of toxicity and outdated practices that often lead to burnout and dissatisfaction.

Law firm culture is intrinsically linked to the effectiveness of its operations, as well as the firm’s long term success. This guide explores how building an effective workplace culture impacts the effectiveness of daily processes and dealings with clients; the importance of the legal operation role; how technology supports that important function; and how to create the right environment in which people can succeed.
