Over the past few years, we’ve seen a dramatic shift from office-based working to hybrid-based models, designed to get the most out of current technologies and futureproof businesses. However, despite the covid pandemic introducing a shift to remote working, the majority of firms have now returned to the office – often with varying outlooks and appetite to hybrid-working.
According to research on the state of the UK’s legal market in 2022, by legal publisher Thomson Reuters, less than 1in 10 lawyers wish to return to working in the office full-time. The report revealed that 63% of lawyers are asking for flexible arrangements, up from 22% prior to the pandemic. On average, lawyers would want to spend 2.1 days a week working remotely. This hybrid working model allows them to perform at their best, so long as the technology is there to facilitate remote working.

However, the optimal output from your IT team can depend on a varying number of factors; most of which will need to be addressed by looking outwards for the best results. Let’s break this down in terms of the challenges the team will likely be facing in the wake of the hybrid working preference many businesses are adopting now.
Although there will be varying skills, knowledge, and levels of experience within your IT team, one thing is true for all legal sector IT teams – the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of the internal team will have increased over time.
This can leave the team stretched to their limits and unsure of where to go next in order to meet those expectations.
At a high-level, an effective and successful law practice will need to allocate attention and focus across the following areas:
With these in mind, it might be starting to become clear that there is potentially too much for your IT team to manage in house; missing knowledge and technologies are hindering you from effectively moving to a more modern working environment.
This is where a co-managed IT partnership can benefit you greatly.
Competitive advantage is the key to success in today’s business world. To maintain this competitive advantage, law firms must adopt new technologies to remain competitive. By deploying IT systems that keep up with their clients’ needs, law firms can build a solid foundation for their practice growth and profitability. Read more in the blog.
