Law firms can provide effective training and development opportunities in a hybrid setting by implementing virtual mentorship, digital shadowing, and collaborative online platforms. Drawing inspiration from other industries, law firms can create a dynamic and engaging learning environment that prepares junior lawyers for the demands of modern legal practice.
