The last few weeks have not been without their challenges. Living in the epicenter of a pandemic is a new experience. We miss being with our work colleagues and doing simple things together like grabbing coffee. Our clients too are facing new and daunting situations. They ask questions like “what do I do if our entire business is considered non-essential and I have to lay-off my team? ...Is my contract still enforceable? What’s happening With my dispute and with the courts? How can I get something notarized under these social distancing conditions?” At the end of the day, we’re grateful to still be here, to have our health, to work together, to have technology to bring us together as much as possible, and to have the opportunity to help solve problems for our clients.
