-
There will be hand sanitizer available at the front door and we ask that you use it.
-
We ask that you bring your own pen and take it with you..
-
We will not exchange physical documents or other objects during the meeting unless absolutely necessary.
We confirm that we are still in full operation and are here to support you.

While we are still here to support you with litigation solutions, non-litigation solutions have adapted more fully to the COVID-19 situation. Consider whether collaborative, mediation, or even arbitration would be a better fit for your situation.
