Webinar description: The pandemic and resulting quarantine changed the way we lawyers, and other professionals, work. We were either forced to create a home-office from scratch for our firm and remote staff members, beef up our back-up home-office, or modify our previously functioning home-office to attend digital court and other remote conferences and communications, and effectuate document signing with various parties, notary, and witnesses. Plus keep up with the General Administrative Orders being churned out by all the courts in various divisions and counties. On top of maintaining a business, many have been running schools, daycares and restaurants, while making room for another home office for a partner or spouses' businesses - thus balancing the needs of (and interference from) partners to children to pets. Whether or not attorneys have returned to the office or still work from home, we continue to balance various demands in work and life. As colder weather rolls in, outdoor office space will be closed or limited, and we will be forced to get creative, and be malleable, again. In this CLE, we will address the myriad challenges, share insights and anecdotes, and learn skills and scientifically proven ways to be more productive at work and leave work at the office -- with whomever we share space and wherever that may be -- for as long as we need.
