Hello, 

With Brexit continuing to dominate the headlines this week, we take a look at the general sentiment from the world of legal, and the impact already being felt as negotiations continue in parliament.

For many law firms, March signals the final stretch towards the end of the financial year and budget planning, which often includes expenditure on the all-important office environment. This month we look at how a firm’s physical space can improve productivity, collaboration and talent retention and attraction.

March is also Women’s History Month and the team at DS attended a number of events across the country in recognition of International Women’s Day on March 8th celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political successes of females globally. It also seems timely to review the data from our recent research into the ambitions of females in legal, and why agile working may address attrition at senior and board level.

Finally, a huge thanks to James Maguire, Managing Director of Maguire Family Law who talked to us about his legal career to date; setting up his own business, and the biggest influences on his journey.
