The COVID-19 pandemic had a side-effect of making the justice system and litigation management more environmentally sound and sustainable. How can we maintain the gains post-pandemic?

Writing in this week’s NLJ, Francesca Berry & Karen Hutchinson, legal directors at Stewarts, explain the reasons for this ‘positive but unintended consequence’. The pandemic necessitated digitalisation, indirectly reducing the environmental impact of the justice system.

They present the case for intentionally capitalising on the ‘window of opportunity’ for environmentally conscious changes, whilst remaining cognizant of the downsides of increased digitalisation.
