Managing Partner Frank Sheppard discusses lessons learned when working from anywhere nearly one year since the great corporate dispersal brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic in an article that published on February 7, 2021 in Forbes. 

“The reality is that we have the technology to serve our clients from anywhere and we’ve been able to do just that.

We are able to work as teams and collaborate, but we’re missing those ad-hoc meetings or unplanned hallway conversations.

And finally, mentoring and training in a remote environment can be very challenging.”
