In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Harmers Workplace Lawyers managing partner Michael Harmer to discuss the myriad challenges that have confronted law firm leaders in 2020 and the need to triage competing concerns in order to keep a firm’s head above water.
