What is A&O law?
A&O is the latest law firm to communicate its expectations for future working practices, in light of how the coronavirus pandemic has shaken up the legal industry.
Does Allen and Overy work remotely?
Allen & Overy expects its lawyers and staff to be able to work remotely 40% of the time on average in the future, management has told the firm, the latest move by a major international firm to change its working practices.
The rise of remote working
Allen & Overy’s transition to remote working following COVID-19 have been relatively straightforward, the panel agreed.
New normal, new me
Six months down the line pre-pandemic working habits have changed. “I used to be quite profligate around the printing that I did,” said Leckie. Although she still finds it easier to “catch more things” when reading paper than on-screen documents, she is now “more thoughtful” about what she prints.
A new way of learning?
One concern is the impact of remote working on trainees, who typically learn on-the-job through osmosis. “You learn a lot by watching people making mistakes, fixing them and not getting stressed by it,” said Samengo–Turner.
Tech is booming
The tech industry is booming, according to Samengo–Turner, who works closely with the firm’s London tech hub, Fuse, and usually splits his time between Silicon Valley and the City. Advising the likes of Google, Facebook, eBay and PayPal, he predicted that global tech companies have a “real role to play” in the ‘new normal’.
Focus on what excites you
While uncertainty pervades the legal sector, the panel provided clear ways to stand out in a competitive graduate market.
Preparing for lockdown
Ahead of lockdown being announced in the UK on 16 March 2020, A&O’s IT team had a frantic weekend implementing a new document management system and a myriad of other changes. The culmination of more than two years’ work, this technology overhaul fortuitously made it easier for staff to work from home for the foreseeable future.
The inside story
When governments around the world locked down countries in the first months of 2020, the crisis was unlike anything that we’d planned for. Business continuity plans had to be ripped up.
Supporting our people
Beyond the immediate practical implications of the crisis, A&O moved quickly to help staff adjust to the personal difficulties of working from home. Once people were at home, HR focused on supporting both their general wellbeing and, more specifically, emotional welfare.
Managing a hybrid workplace
As the first wave of the pandemic ebbed, people returned to A&O’s offices to different degrees in different regions, depending on the local transport network, health situation and government guidance. London and New York were the last to reopen.
The future of the office
Looking to the future, there is little doubt that Covid-19 has jolted A&O into accelerated transformation. As with other businesses, many of the changes were already under way, albeit at a slower pace. The challenge? Making sure that the office of the future retains the best of the physical and remote worlds.
