  • The Virtual Workspace: 50 Tips for Effective Video Conferencing

    Lennons Solicitors

    The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in worldwide lockdowns as Governments imposed strict conditions. As industries, businesses and individuals adjusted to the implications, the legal sector rapidly introduced remote court hearings to keep the wheels of justice turning.

    The shift towards home working forced lawyers and non-lawyers alike to embrace technology and to stumble through the ‘new normal’ of video conferencing and virtual meetings.

    The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in worldwide lockdowns as Governments imposed strict conditions. As industries, businesses and individuals adjusted to the implications, the legal sector rapidly introduced remote court hearings to keep the wheels of justice turning.

    The shift towards home working forced lawyers and non-lawyers alike to embrace technology and to stumble through the ‘new normal’ of video conferencing and virtual meetings.

    Andrew King, specialist litigation solicitor, was involved in one of the first ‘virtual trials’ in England, fully conducted by Skype for Business in the High Court of Justice.

    Following his experience, 50 Tips brings together practical ideas and guidance to help those using video conferencing platforms in business to make the most of the virtual meeting environment.

    Whilst particularly pertinent to those in the legal sector, this book will be relevant to all manner of commercial and other formal meeting situations, including employment disciplinary meetings, sales pitches, job interviews, due diligence, contract negotiations, and parliamentary, local authority and other committee meetings.

    Whether you are experienced or a novice, 50 tips is a valuable companion for anyone utilising video conferencing in a professional capacity or for business use. Following the practical ideas and guidance will help ensure the experience of the virtual workspace experience is a positive one.

  • Rebranding A Solicitors' Practice

    -

    As a director of Lennons Solicitors, I spearheaded a rebranding activity that set out to modernise the practice’s image and to ensure that our key messages were promoted consistently via all the communications channels that we use.

    Our practice, which was established in 1983, has been very successful over the years. My challenge was to modernise the way the practice presents itself to its clients and to prospective clients without losing sight of our core values or devaluing our history…

    As a director of Lennons Solicitors, I spearheaded a rebranding activity that set out to modernise the practice’s image and to ensure that our key messages were promoted consistently via all the communications channels that we use.

    Our practice, which was established in 1983, has been very successful over the years. My challenge was to modernise the way the practice presents itself to its clients and to prospective clients without losing sight of our core values or devaluing our history and our achievements to date.

    I started with a blank sheet of paper. As the project took shape, the various elements became clear. Our offices in Chesham and Amersham needed redecoration and modernisation. Our website needed a total redesign. We needed to promote ourselves in a consistent and readily understandable way. We needed to make more effective use of the social media platforms, including LinkedIn. We needed to ensure that we were all explaining clearly to the people we met what we stand for, that we offer value for money and that we are committed to offer our clients excellent customer service.

    Between autumn 2012 and autumn 2013 the project has been completed. We have focused on each aspect of the programme in turn and addressed each element systematically. We have dealt with problems and overcome setbacks, rethinking plans as necessary along the way.

    The results are excellent. We have rebranded the practice and I am proud of what we have done. I planned the project, and managed its implementation with the support of my colleagues. Now we can all reap the benefits.
