The transmission of COVID-19 is a developing global public health situation that is beginning to create challenges for individuals and business operations across a range of national and international issues. As the UK moves from the containment to the delay stage, events could change rapidly and lead to a complex and difficult environment for businesses, employers, employees and individuals in which to operate.
At Mishcon de Reya our priority is the health and wellbeing of all our colleagues, clients and contacts, whilst ensuring that we are available to continue to deliver our high quality legal and associated services.
We have therefore implemented our own containment policies and created a cross-Firm group to answer any legal, practical or operational questions you may have. We have considered the most pressing issues faced by our clients and contacts and have prepared some practical guidance that is available here. This includes guidance on workforce health and safety, insurance, contracts and business continuity. We have also set up a dedicated e-mail address for any queries you may have: coronavirus@mishcon.com.
We will continue to support our colleagues, our clients and our contacts' efforts to contain, delay and mitigate.
