Prior to COVID-19, Latham had already invested in building a strong technology infrastructure, which no doubt helped the firm land the No. 2 spot on Vault’s 2021 Best Law Firms for Technology and Innovation ranking. A popular addition during COVID-19 has been the “Observation Deck,” a program that allows lawyers firmwide to watch Latham trial lawyers in action in virtual court. This has given associates the unique ability to attend more hearings than ever, and the firm hosts debrief sessions to foster associate learning.
