HOWES PERCIVAL INVESTS IN POST-COVID RECOVERY
Leading law firm Howes Percival has announced a series of new investments in IT, its people and skills development, as it positions itself for the post Covid19 recovery.
The firm, which has reported a good pipeline of transactions during the pandemic and has expanded its Employment Law team, is keen to build on new ways of working in recent months and further improve its service for clients.
The investments include a new client relationship management platform and client feedback programme, as well as enhancements to the firm's learning framework and 12 senior promotions.
Howes Percival's chairman, Geraint Davies (pictured), commented: “We were in a strong position before the pandemic, having made a series of investments in our IT to enable more collaboration and different ways of working. As a result, we were able to adapt to remote working almost immediately.
“The way we all work has changed, relationships with clients have changed, and professional services firms can't simply revert to how it used to be after all this.
“We need to continue to embrace new ways of working and look for further improvements and innovation. We also need to be able to develop as individuals and teams and bring new skills and ways of working smarter and closer with clients. The two things together - fantastic technology and amazing, talented
CAN'T SIMPLY people - that's very much how I see REVERT TO HOW Howes Percival.
IT USED TO BE “The technology available now is AFTER ALL THIS’ incredible. There are elements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in some of the tools we are using, and we are really excited by the opportunities this presents. I think the image of law firms being quaintly old fashioned, is long gone. Or it certainly is at Howes Percival.”
