Adapt, innovate & challenge the norm after lockdown ends, writes Jessica Hampson, CEL Solicitors
  • Career development remained as important as ever during lockdown.
  • Fledgling lawyers will take the lessons learned, such as the importance of communication, into the rest of their careers.

It’s an industry that has tradition, formality and heritage at its core which, until the COVID-19 pandemic, was widely accepted and rarely challenged.

However, the various lockdowns and rules on social distancing during the past 12 months has meant the legal sector has had to rapidly adapt to new ways of working in order to meet the demands of both clients and courts, as well as ensuring that staff are continuing to develop their skills.

For our fledgling lawyers of today, the challenges to come out of the past year are likely to govern how they navigate their careers.

Take CEL Solicitors. We have always been proud to go against the grain when it comes to culture and challenging the norm in the legal sector.
