To say this is an uncertain time for our clients and their businesses would be an understatement. The outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly impacted the global markets – as well as clients – on a new and very personal level. More than ever, clients are looking to us as their trusted advisers – to not only provide valuable legal advice to the family, but help guide through these uncertain times. Globalisation has, in certain respects, been put on pause. Not only are we witnessing significant and sudden decreases in asset values, individuals’ daily lives have been deeply affected as well. People of the world cannot currently move, trade and travel freely, and we have been restricted from access to our assets, companies, and even family members.
Now it is important to stay calm and stay in touch. This document outlines the key questions that our clients from across a number of sectors and jurisdictions have been thinking about over the past few weeks. We welcome you to reach out to your usual Taylor Wessing contact if you have your own questions, concerns, or just need a sounding board.
