As governments across all levels have announced, or have already started to initiate, steps towards reopening the economy, companies are thinking about what reopening their businesses will entail.

To help our clients and business partners plan for the foreseeable future, we have identified key areas of consideration in the document: Reopening for Business: What to think about as you plan for the transition (PDF).

The document provides a briefing on 'Where to Begin' from government frameworks to corporate oversight. It also covers 'Getting Back to Business' including essential business regulations and workplace considerations for employers, as well as 'Navigating Government Relations' and 'Additional Legal Considerations' such as potential legal liabilities, considerations in the real estate space, and more.

We will also continue to compile useful resources on reopening frameworks and guidance as they become available in our COVID-19 Knowledge Centre.
