To our valued clients,

We are reaching out to let you know Fortis’ plan for continuing to serve our clients during this unprecedented public health emergency and to offer our help with any new legal challenges you or your business may be facing.

As lawyers, much of our work can be performed remotely. Our Firm has excellent, secure remote connectivity and we have asked all of our lawyers, paralegals and staff to work remotely until further notice. You can reach any employee of Fortis at any time either by email or telephone on our direct office phone numbers. We also offer web conferencing capabilities at no charge to clients and we can hold any meetings through this virtual platform.

We recognize that your business will likely face some very legal difficult challenges in the weeks and months ahead. We take our role as your legal counsel very seriously and we are committed to supporting you and your businesses through this crisis. Our lawyers have the expertise to help with:

• employment law issues, such as privacy, teleworking policies, paid leave, downsizing and layoffs

• commercial contract issues, including invoking force majeure clauses

• insurance claims such as event cancellation, business interruption, or general liability

• analyzing the impact on financing, compliance with covenants and merger and acquisition strategies

We appreciate the privilege of working with you and value the opportunity to help you and your businesses succeed. Should you have any questions about Fortis’ plan for meeting client needs or want legal advice and counsel, please feel free to reach out to us any time. https://www.fortislawpartners.com/our-team
