  • JOINT STATEMENT Unique Pro Bono Collaboration Tackling Refugee Crisis
    JOINT STATEMENT 2 October 2020 Unique pro bono collaboration tackling refugee crisis wins two awards for legal innovation LONDON: An ambitious pro bono project, the Greece Pro Bono Collaborative (GPBC), which provides crucial assistance to asylum seekers in refugee camps in the Greek Islands has been announced as the winner of the Innovation in Social Responsibility award in the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers Awards Europe. The project was also awarded the CSR Innovation (Multi-Firm) award in Legal Week’s Legal Innovation Awards. The project is a joint effort between six firms – Allen & Overy; Ashurst; Charles Russell Speechlys; Dentons; Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe and White & Case – and the NGO European Lawyers in Lesvos (ELIL). Refugee Legal Support (RLS) was also an NGO partner in the project’s first year. At its core, the GPBC aims to provide urgent legal support and advice to vulnerable individuals, with volunteers focusing on preparations for first instance asylum interviews and working on family reunification applications. It helps individuals of all ages, genders and nationalities. “The incredible need in Greece had been clear to us for some time, but developing a project that could really meaningfully utilise the capacity of international law firm lawyers, and scaling impact through collaboration within the sector, took careful planning” said Amy Grunske, Head of International Pro Bono at Orrick. A comprehensive project infrastructure was developed, with necessary training, supervision and support provided to the firm volunteers by the expert lawyers at ELIL. Implemented in a truly collaborative way, each firm provided volunteer lawyers for two-week placements in Greece in person, before switching to remote secondments in light of Covid-19.

  • The Charter – a Short History
    The Charter – a short history The Mindful Business Charter was born out of discussions between the in house legal team at Barclays and two of their panel law firms, Pinsent Masons and Addleshaw Goddard, along the following lines: The people working in their businesses are highly driven professionals; We do pressured, often complex, work which requires high levels of cognitive functioning; We thrive on that hard work and pressure; In amongst that pressure and hard work there is stress, some of which is unnecessary; When we are stressed we work less productively, and it is not good for our health; and If we could remove that unnecessary stress, we would enable people to work more effectively and efficiently, as well as be happier and healthier. They also recognised that the pressure and stress come from multiple sources, often because of unspoken expectations of what the other requires or demands. Too often lawyers will respond to requests for work from a client with an assumption that the client requires the work as quickly as possible, whatever the demands that may make on the individuals involved, and whatever the impact upon their wellbeing, their families and much else besides. The bigger and more important the client, the greater the risk of that happening. The development of IT has contributed to this. As our connectivity has increased, there has been an inexorable drift towards an assumption that simply because we can be contactable and on demand and working 24/7, wherever we may be, that we should be. No-one stopped to think about this, to challenge it, to ask if it was what we wanted, or what we should do, or needed to do or if it was a good idea, we just went with the drift, perhaps fearful of speaking out, perhaps fearful that if we took a stand, the client would find another law firm down the road who was prepared to do whatever was required.

Given changing market dynamics, and increased competition, law firms are investing to continue to professionalise their BD and relationship management capabilities to help drive growth. This report from Legal IT Insider is testament to the commercial importance of these functions to law firms, as told by marketing and business development professionals themselves. It is no secret that it is far easier to maintain and grow revenue with existing customers than it is to win new business. While a CRM system is valuable for winning new customers, it also plays an instrumental role in helping to manage and extend existing relationships to deliver growth. There have been lots of exciting technology innovations within the sector over recent years – from automation of data entry, to relationship scoring and profiling. As a result, the CRM market has remained competitive with a regular stream of new entrants coming into the industry. However, as this report highlights, driving success requires more than just a tool or system.
