Mar 18, 2020 Firm News

Newmeyer Dillion announces today the formation of its COVID-19 Task Force, comprising attorneys in the areas of labor and employment, health, privacy and cyber security, insurance, construction, and corporate and business transactions.

As the reality and effects of COVID-19 spread across our nation, individuals and businesses now face myriad legal and practical questions and challenges. In addition to employment, worker safety and complications arising from the increased need for remote working, companies need to act quickly and thoughtfully to prepare for and respond to privacy, cyber security, insurance, and contract force majeure concerns, to name a few.

Newmeyer Dillion’s attorneys are already at the forefront of advising local, regional and national businesses on how to work through a range of challenges stemming from COVID-19, including:

  • Contract rights and obligations
  • Insurance coverage (including business interruption, liability, pollution and cyber)
  • Employee work-from-home protocols, including cyber security planning
  • Family and sick leave rights and obligations
  • HIPPA privacy rights and obligations

We stand ready, willing and able to advise and guide you through these difficult and fluid times and are committed to regularly providing updated resources at Newmeyer Dillion's COVID-19 Multidisciplinary Task Force page.
