Intro: (00:00:00)

Panel Discussion followed by Q&A: (00:01:26)
Reflections on the SRA regulation event and changes to the legal landscape: How has the legal profession reacted to the changes in regulation? How can lawyers take advantage of the shifting legal landscape? How is technology changing the nature of legal work anywhere do we go from here?
 
Remote Practice Management: (00:30:44)
In 2020, every lawyer in the world got a taste of remote work but for many lawyers, this has been the status quo for some time. Legal Connection is a tool that feels like a social network tool but functions like a practice management suite. Learn what inspired Guy to build the product and how it's being used to facilitate freelance and virtual practice.
 
Third Party Managed Accounts: (00:39:15) 
With the rise of remote work comes a rise in cybercrime and law firms doing large transactions are particularly at risk. How can a freelance solicitor or virtual firm mitigate risk while facilitating client transactions? Shieldpay has worked closely with the SRA to create a third party managed accounts solution for the modern law firm.
