Today's Video Focus:  The battle against coronavirus is going hi-tech, with Australians to be asked to download a phone app that will monitor their movements — but only with their permission.

Focus of the Day article: Just under 90% of fees generated by fee-earners at small and medium-sized law firms last year were used to cover their costs, Law Society research has found. The survey recorded that, on the whole, 2019 was a “very positive” year with fees up, staff and partner numbers on the rise too, and WIP and debtor balances are down. Full story - Legal Futures
