No corporation is thriving in times like these unless it is in the business of selling hand sanitizers or masks. The public sector will be relatively safe but the private sector has taken a huge beating because many countries are in lockdown officially or unofficially.

Even in the legal sector, it is worrying for all. The in-house counsel faces a risk of pay reduction or no-pay leaves. The corporate lawyers faces reduced business transactions, contracts or acquisitions because companies around the world are not functioning at 100%. Even for litigation lawyers, lesser people will think of engaging lawyers because legal actions are not a necessities and can be 'postponed'. And the practice trainees are facing a risk of retention.

To say that economies are in deep trouble is an understatement
