Why a Mutuality of Services Mindset in Legal Makes for a Better Post-COVID Culture

Leigh Vickery

In the legal industry, transitioning to a culture of care poses more of a challenge to law firms than other businesses. In fact, today's business climate has long been calling for reform to the law firm business model of the billable hour and a reassessment of the economic principles of legal partnerships, which actively encourage self-interest and the maximization of personal financial returns. What is needed now is for attorneys to seize the chance to reshape their profession and strengthen their position as leaders of our society.
