COVID-19 Response Resource Center

LOOKING AHEAD

At the outset of the COVID-19 emergency, Lewis Brisbois quickly realized the legal issues clients would face and put in place teams that have responded to needs in a wide array of practice areas, including employment, contract disputes, new government loans, regulatory, financial restructuring, tax, and insurance, among others. The firm established an internal COVID-19 team that facilitated the exchange of information on a timely basis, cross-firm collaboration, routing of client questions to the right team, and a high profile presence in the marketplace. As we move into the next phase of the COVID-19 crisis and recovery, the following list identifies likely client legal needs and the internal points of contact to shepherd client inquiries to the right attorney for handling.

We will continue to update this page as the situation develops. Check back regularly for updates from our team on other areas of the law impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. For more information on the specific services we can provide, click on the practice areas below.
