We are living in uncertain times with a crisis that is affecting our lives in a manner none of us have experienced before. As the COVID-19 situation develops, we will continue to evolve our response and adhere to the latest government advice to protect our colleagues, clients and communities.

Since the outbreak of the virus, we have been doing what we can to prepare for every eventuality. We have a business continuity plan and have set up a dedicated response group which meets regularly to oversee operational effectiveness, manage risk and ensure continuity of service.

What it means for our clients

The pandemic is posing challenges for businesses and we will continue to help our clients manage the impact of this crisis. Our legal experts are available to advise on employment issues, commercial contracts, cash flow challenges, funding arrangements and your overall ability to conduct day to day business. Below we have pulled together a brief summary of the support that is currently on offer to businesses from the UK government. We are also publishing daily updates on a range of legal issues we are experts on and will produce a weekly COVID-19 client newsletter.

If you need our support, you can reach us via our COVID-19 telephone helpline on 01239 614070.

We will continue to watch the situation closely, respond to new developments and communicate our approach and updates as appropriate.
