On today’s show, Richard Jacobs welcomes AV Preeminent rated attorney Francisco “Frank” Ramos, Jr., managing partner of Clarke Silverglate and practitioner of commercial litigation, drug, and medical device products liability, and catastrophic personal injury law. He shares his perspective on and experience within the changing landscape of law amid COVID-19.
“If COVID taught us anything, it taught us that we could all work remotely…and once things return to normal…I suspect you’re going to find a lot of firms taking up less of a real estate footprint and sharing offices…with a lot more remote work and flextime,” says Ramos. He says he’s saving about 10 hours per week just by virtue of not having to travel to and from his law office, hearings, depositions, etc. In this regard, the situation has made things simpler, but it’s certainly created challenges as well. Ramos shares what he believes is one of the most difficult aspects of the required adjustments, and how to mitigate it.
He also discusses remote jury trials, tips for keeping clients engaged and continuing to bring in new clients, what areas of law may be particularly affected by COVID-19 (e.g. employment, bankruptcy, business insurance, product liability related to personal protective equipment, civil rights matters), and more.
