SYMONDS & SAMPSON LLP - COVID-19 – AN UPDATE

To our clients, partners and colleagues.

We are all aware of the current, and rapidly changing, situation with regards to the Covid-19 outbreak, whilst we are pleased that there still seems to be a great deal of activity in all areas of business.

We are doing what we can to continue to provide a full service to clients whilst protecting the welfare of our staff and third parties. For the moment we are asking a number of staff to work from home, having provided them with the IT and telephony to continue working effectively, and are maintaining reduced teams in our offices. You should please continue to use the usual contact details to get in touch.

All employees are fully aware of the recommendations for hygiene, disinfection, isolation and distancing, and strict protocols have been applied where appropriate. We are restricting visits both to our offices and to other properties to pre-arranged appointments only and looking at alternative ways to conduct meetings.

Please do not visit our offices without an appointment but telephone the office number to discuss arrangements if you do need to call.

As things stand, business will carry on much as before, with some necessary adaptation and limitation, and we have made home-working arrangements for the great majority of our staff, should we enter a period of lock-down. However, we are all aware that the situation may change in the space of a few hours, and will provide any updates here.
