AusLSA Law Firm Travel Management Survey

16 June 2014 5:22 PM | Anonymous member

At the start of our GreenThemes quarter on Travel, we wanted to find out how Australian law firms are managing business travel. The first round of responses have allowed us to produce a report. Here is what we found:

33% of respondents are now using virtual meeting technologies to meet with clients, but 90% of firms agree that virtual meetings can't replace the value of a good ol' face-to-face meeting.
Some simple education and training programs on virtual technologies would be very effective in increasing use of virtual meeting technologies because habit and lack of knowledge and understanding were identified as key barriers.
45% of firms don't have a travel policy and/or procedure, implying that they are not effectively managing their travel budgets or emissions.

This survey has provided an initial overview of travel management practices in the legal sector and will help us drill down into some interesting issues in the future.
