At Saunders, Walsh & Beard, we are carefully monitoring the current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Our goal is to ensure business continuity in order to meet our clients’ needs throughout this period by taking appropriate measures regarding the health and safety of our clients as well as all members of our firm. To that end, we have implemented several measures to meet our health and business objectives:

• We have ensured that any of our employees working remotely have full and secure access to our systems without compromising our communications with you, your confidential information, or our work product;

• We are holding more client and other meetings by audio or video conferencing;

• We have adopted measures regarding any attorneys or staff members who may feel ill or otherwise be at risk;

• We have increased the cleaning of contact surfaces on our premises and promoted the simple and effective measures public health authorities have identified as reducing risks of transmission.

We are focused on delivering our legal services throughout this period just as we have done through other periods of turmoil. Rest assured we are equipped with the requisite secure technology and processes to continue serving your needs remotely, timely, and securely.
