BigHand: Effective working

Tech company BigHand has produced a report on workflow management trends between lawyers and support staff in firms of 100-199 lawyers

It is based on a survey in May, which garnered more than 900 responses. The report covers the need for more flexible working patterns, and the associated opportunities and challenges.

The report suggests mid-size firms maximise their USPs over larger firms by getting the right tasks to the right level of resource, to reduce costs and mitigate the risk of staff burnout.

Read the report here.
