“During 2020 lawyers experienced the most radical shake up of how they work, probably ever. As the pandemic recedes, there is a terrific opportunity to embed these new ways of working in the legal sector’s DNA. Consequently, law firm leaders and General Counsel are looking closely at delivery models fit for 2021 that reflect client requirements, employee preferences for remote working, and ride the digitisation wave that swept through the sector in 2020. For cities like Leeds – with its deep talent pool and evolving digital economy – this presents a unique opportunity to emerge as a hub for legal tech, innovation and legal service delivery more generally.”
