Navigating Coronavirus
(COVID-19):
Legal perspectives

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is a global human and social crisis which continues to create a host of unprecedented challenges that require mitigating.

In this dynamic and fast-evolving situation, we continue to actively monitor government advice and translate this into legal considerations, providing a range of practical guidance for both individuals and businesses.

To help navigate and address the challenges posed by COVID-19 to you, your workforce, customers and wider stakeholders, we outline some practical considerations and guidance in this hub based on our legal expertise.

This hub will be updated regularly with the latest developments.
