The Association of Corporate Counsel has released a member flash poll on how legal departments are dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic on matters ranging from working remotely to coping with supply chain disruptions.

About 68% of respondents felt their departments were "very well prepared" to transition to remote work during the coronavirus crisis, and just under 27% reported that their departments were "somewhat prepared," according to the poll of 5,000 randomly selected members, from which they received 277 valid responses.

Slightly more than 54% reported that work volume had risen as a result of COVID-19 in labor and employment matters, but just over 31% reported no change in work procedures or volume on labor and employment matters. About 10.5% said they were outsourcing more work or looking into other external services.
