Lev Berlin & Sousa Remains Open at This Time to Assist Clients with Legal Needs During This COVID-19 Pandemic
Posted on Mar 23, 2020 8:36am PDT
Lev Berlin & Sousa understands that while many operations are pausing
and being required to close in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the
legal needs of people and businesses do not stop. As a boutique law firm,
we have been able to pivot our practices and procedures in order to maintain
operations in our office through the combination of working-from-home
capabilities, reduction in personnel physically in the office, and observing
recommended social distancing.
The Governor’s Executive Order for the State of Connecticut specifically
lists legal services as an essential business, and so we are doing everything
we can to continue to complete essential work for our clients. While some
legal functions, particularly real estate transactions, can face greater
challenges arising out of remote operations, we are working with various
groups, including local bar associations, town government operations,
and title insurance groups to ensure that we can proceed as best we can.
Thankfully, most business, corporate, commercial, contract, financing,
securities, technology, privacy, intellectual property, and employment
law matters can continue to be advanced remotely, through telephone conferences,
Zoom conferences, email, and scanned documents and materials.
While typically at least one person from Lev Berlin & Sousa will be
physically in the office during business hours on most days, we strongly
recommend clients and prospective clients call ahead or email us with
any legal inquiries or needs, so that we can plan ahead and accordingly
to ensure legal needs are being met in a reasonable, and, most importantly,
safe, fashion.
Be well, stay safe, and do not hesitate to let us know if we can assist
you during these unprecedented and trying times.
