Guests Cheryl Fenton, an experienced senior manager in Mental Health and an Achill Management associate, and Dan Harris, Head of Responsible Business at Taylor Wessing discuss how the changing structure of law firms and the fact that hybrid working is here to stay affect staff wellbeing and mental health. How to identify issues, how to support staff and what the implications are for collaborative workspaces in the coming months.

Will our offices look the same post Covid ?

 

In this first webinar of our Autumn series our panel discussed how our approach to planning and managing office space is changing, what office space we will really need and how firms are adapting to the new hybrid model by rethinking our relationships with our desks.

Neil Usher from GoSpace shared his views on the change as a driving for rethinking workforce planning while John Burgess from Grant Thornton highlighted how firms will reuse and reconsider physical workspaces inside the building.

Neil and John are delighted to be contacted by LSA members so do get in touch directly if you would like to find out more about their work on [email protected] and/or [email protected]

GREEN LAW – CLEAN RECOVERY?

This webinar is next in the series of Green Recovery webinars produced by Achill Management and Planet Pod.

REWILDING: WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR A GREEN RECOVERY?

REWILDING: WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR A GREEN RECOVERY?

 

In the second of the series of webinars from Planet Pod and Achill Management we ask our guests how can rewilding present opportunities for a green recovery and new way of managing our resources and the planet after Covid? Rebecca Wrigly, CEO, Rewilding Britain joins Simon Boyle Legal Director at Argyll Environmental and a member of Wild Law group at UKELA and Ben Macdonald, author, conservationist and film maker.

All three offer different insights into how rewilding at local and national level can be used to support economic regeneration, connection between communities and rebalance our damaged ecosystem by restoring greater biodiversity. If 30% of public land were rewilded we would be well on the way to recovery says Rebecca Wrigley, while Simon advocates for legal rights for natural landscapes through a wild law and Ben calls for public ownership of grouse moors and farmland.
