Private Client Issues – May 2020
Welcome to this month’s edition of Private Client Issues, Blake Morgan’s monthly round-up of the topics. Insight and advice on developments affecting private individuals.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you about some of the things we’re doing to help. As always, our focus is on providing you with a high-quality service, while working to keep our staff, clients and contacts safe. In line with the Government’s advice, our employees are working from home where possible, and happy to meet with you virtually until we can meet in person again. We are really proud of the way that our staff have risen to the challenge to do this without impacting the service we provide.
The situation is fast moving, with new measures being announced daily as the government addresses the emerging key issues facing both individuals and businesses. Our team are here to help you, with the advice and support you need at this difficult time. Please access our COVID-19 hub for up to date information on key issues and please look after yourselves and those close to you.
