ISSUE IN BRIEF

LPM Jul-Aug cover

For a media company, you’d think we’d be more modern than we are. That’s not to say we aren’t with the times in many regards, but we are going through a bigger office transformation and it’s now time to push our agile working to the stars. It’s past time. And the same is true for law firms.

This month we explore what agile working really means and how it looks at SME law firms. Join us on p14 for some insights on how flexible working – including flexible hours, hotdesking, working from home and other such things – works in firms like yours.

Also, take a glimpse at the firms that won the inaugural LPM Practice Excellence Awards and the projects that took top place on pp18-19.
