COVID-19 / Coronavirus Resources

As we collectively respond to the developing COVID-19 outbreak, the well-being of our clients and colleagues remains our paramount concern. We continue to closely monitor governmental, CDC, and WHO guidelines on travel, exposure and preventative measures and our firm has instituted a number of internal measures to ensure that BCLP is able to continue to consistently serve our clients’ business needs. You can read more about the steps we have taken here.

In addition, many of the lawyers within our firm are developing thought leadership that addresses the legal and commercial challenges the virus outbreak poses for our clients. This page collects those insights and will be updated as the business risks change.

You can use the Jurisdiction and Practice/Sector filters below to create a tailored list of practice related resources by the jurisdiction you need. Or the links below group our thought leadership by topic.
