This includes implementing policies on workplace safely consistent with guidance from public health authorities. We have educated our staff on preventative measures they can take to stay safe, including frequent hand washing, use of hand sanitizers, social distancing which includes utilizing conference call lines for meetings and whenever possible, communicating by phone and e-mail rather than face-to-face interaction.  As a firm, we are requesting, for the time being, that our clients and vendors refrain from visiting our offices unless absolutely necessary, especially if you or someone close to you in not feeling well. These policies will evolve as the situation develops.

We will continue to actively follow the guidance from the World Health Organization, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state/local governmental agencies and will revise plans and make decisions accordingly.
