Services during COVID-19

In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, safety of our clients and

colleagues is of paramount importance.  Until further notice,

legal services will be available by phone, e-mail and video conference

only.  As technology has been a mainstay in our practice, except for

face to face contact, our services have been largely uninterrupted.

We remain open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.  All our

forms and documents are available to our clients electronically, on a

computer or mobile device.  Notarizing and commissioning of documents

can also take place while practicing social distancing and most

signatures can be done electronically.

In cases where a client may not be familiar with setting up online/

electronic methods of communication, we are committed to helping

clients set up and navigate online tools necessary to allow us to

assist them safely and effectively.  Our Technology Advisor, Steve

Tannahill (steve@uplawed.com), is our dedicated team member helping

with this effort.

In some cases, online meetings and telephone calls as a method of

communication or signing documents may not be suitable.  Each

situation will be assessed individually and we will work with clients

to devise a sound plan consistent with Ontario health guidelines

(https://www.publichealthontario.ca/.)

Stay safe and take care of yourselves and one another.

Sincerely,

Dorota
