March 23rd, 2020 is a date that will go down in history as the first UK lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic. Many businesses found themselves trying to adapt overnight, with a new and novel way of working.
Fast forward 10 months, a new year and we still find ourselves in the same position. The legal sector did not go unscathed, and just like other businesses, saw the impact of Covid-19. Scanning the horizon, we can see firms downsizing and offices shutting. In an article by Law.com International, 25 firms were affected in November alone.
So, what did this mean and still does for Fullers? In short, it’s business as usual. We were already a ‘paperless office’ and stored our files in the cloud. We operated and continue to do so throughout this pandemic, and we remained fully functional and available for our clients when they needed us. We were in a strong position to recruit lawyers and continue to do so.
It has certainly not been without its challenges. However, we came together as a team virtually. Working in our home offices, or from our dining room tables. Our flexible approach meant that home-schooling children was achievable, and our four-legged friends were happy as they had more walks than usual.
Occasional remote working has always been a benefit that Fullers has offered. We realise the benefits it can have, such as improved work-life balance and higher engagement levels.
With our up-to-date client systems and dedicated in house IT specialist, we were equipped to deal with long-term remote working rapidly.
We also understand that remote working for a considerable time can take its toll.
It has been an emotional time for our staff and our own families, and it does not look like it is ending soon. To ensure we are in the best position to help our clients, we launched an employee assistance programme for added support. We have completed engagement surveys, made sure our staff meetings continue, and we are committed to weekly training and strategy sessions to engage all roles within the team.
As the saying goes, all work and no play. At Fullers we have virtual coffee catch-ups for much needed social space. We are ready to host our next virtual quiz this week and we continue to look for more ways to keep us together and happy in this very strange time!
We are a forward-thinking law firm that leaves an out-dated approach at the (virtual) front door.

What our clients say
Professional, compassionate and timely service
Anjani and Sophie have been nothing but professional and compassionate throughout my experience, they have always been on the ball with deadlines and have ensured everything is done in a timely manner. I'd describe the whole process as compact and considerate, ensuring things ran smoothly and there wasn't any
unnecessary tasks added which saved money and time. Very happy to have had them work with me!

Reassuring support through difficult times
Going into this process, I was terrified and emotional, from the start Hollie was reassuring, gave me all the information I could need, explained processes and answered all my questions regardless of how simple they may have been. Fullers helped me when situations changed and gave me the help I needed at a vulnerable point in my life. I genuinely couldn't of gotten a better experience elsewhere

Efficient, cost-saving divorce solution
The service I received from Jane-Louise and the team at Fullers Family Law was exemplary. Jane-Louise is one of the few solicitors that can deal with both parties using the Together We Part system. This works out so much cheaper and far quicker to get the divorce granted as only one lawyer is needed. This obviously only works if you're in agreement but if you are, I urge you to contact Jane-Louise and the team to discuss the Together We Part option. It saved us thousands and the divorce was granted within 6 months! Thank you team for your professionalism throughout.
