I didn't handle family law cases before this, but have been asked to take on a few contested family matters during this circuit breaker. I do think Covid has affected business development on the part of upper management. There is sufficient work to go around for existing employees but I think firms are less willing to hire new headcount. My firm unfortunately does not intend to retain the current trainees.
