The legal industry has shown an impressive ability to cope with disruptions and closures brought about by severe weather in the wake of the COVID pandemic.
Adapting to Weather Challenges
Ahead of a significant winter storm that was expected to shut down state and federal courts across multiple states—including Illinois, Ohio, Maryland, and Virginia—Michael Sklaire, co-managing shareholder at Greenberg Traurig’s Northern Virginia office, shared his insights with the National Law Journal.
He stressed the readiness of litigators in Washington, D.C., to tackle whatever obstacles may arise.
These lawyers have adapted their strategies, whether that means leveraging remote testimony options or reshuffling court timetables to fit in longer days.
Understanding January’s Hurdles
Sklaire also pointed out that legal professionals are well-acquainted with the struggles that January can bring in D.C. Consequently, they have tailored their practices to meet these challenges effectively.
The winter months present their own set of hurdles, but the legal community continues to innovate and evolve in response.
Innovations in Legal Practices
As the legal profession navigates these seasonal difficulties, the emphasis on adaptability and innovation remains crucial.
The ongoing commitment to finding solutions that work for clients during challenging conditions showcases the resilience of the industry.
