Organizations and individuals are feeling the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on their businesses, workforces, and more. We created our Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resource Center to help clients stay up-to-date regarding the legal and practical response to this constantly evolving situation. The Resource Center will contain alerts, blog posts, and updates from our attorneys across multiple practice areas as well as information from outside resources such as federal, state, and local authorities.
We hope that you are all staying safe and managing this situation as well as possible. Our attorneys are staying at the forefront of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) response and are available by email and phone to answer any questions our clients have.
UPDATE: Our attorneys and staff are working remotely and remain ready to assist our clients. Our receptionists are working remotely and are able to route calls to the appropriate staff. If, however, you are planning to visit our office, please call your contact prior to the visit to discuss alternative arrangements.
