Law Society outlines plans for supporting junior lawyers

The Law Society has published guidance on how to supervise and support junior staff and trainees via hybrid and flexible working models. 

Supervision has taken place mainly on a remote basis since March 2020, when the first lockdown began.

Law Society president I Stephanie Boyce said: ‘It’s clear the pandemic has changed the way we view work. We want to guide our members on how to ensure their junior staff are being supported in the best possible way.’

The guidance can be viewed here.
