What We Do
Fredrikson & Byron is open for business and we continue to work closely with clients and community partners to address the changing business and legal landscape. We are working in cross-functional teams to stay apprised of developments happening at the state and federal level, making information available and proactively assisting clients with their specific legal needs today and anticipating the questions they will be asking tomorrow.
We also have implemented our own firm-wide business continuity plans so that we can continue to serve our clients as the outbreak escalates. These plans are designed to ensure the safety of our employees and our clients and to play our part in community efforts to try to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Above all, our thoughts are with those who are impacted by COVID-19 as we all work to navigate this serious global health challenge. We will evaluate the situation daily and will make adjustments as required. Firm updates will continue to be shared on our website.
