COVID-19: The Virtual Workspace

Finding Skype a chore and Zoom frustrating? You might be interested in a short book with 50 tips for effective video conferencing, written by solicitor Andrew King, director at Lennons Solicitors

King wrote the book after taking part in a virtual trial in April. It is aimed at the legal profession (but is also relevant to those not in the legal sector) and aims to provide practical tips and guidance on how to deal with video meetings.

It features forewords by Susan Acland-Hood, chief executive of HM Courts and Tribunals, Richard Susskind, legal technology expert and author, and The Secret Barrister, author.

The book, ‘The Virtual Workspace’, available in paperback and as an e-book, is being sold on a not-for-profit basis with all proceeds going to NHS Charities Together. Find it on Amazon at www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B087P9G6JC.
