Please join us January 27, 2022, for a discussion about significant changes in the legal profession. A recent study by the American Bar Association that found the effects of COVID-19 were significant is an understatement. It was reported that 1/3 of older lawyers said it changed their retirement plans, while 1/3 of lawyers stated their income was reduced, stress increased, and peer interactions decreased. All the while, client demands are changing with increasingly more sophisticated issues at a time when South Carolina was reported to have the least number of lawyers per capita of any other state in the U.S.
Join us for a discussion format CLE that will cover several issues that stem from the changing legal landscape, COVID-19, and how lawyers and law firms need to adapt in 2022 and beyond.
