FRASER TREBILCOCK COVID-19 OFFICE UPDATE.

Dear Valued Fraser Trebilcock Clients and Partners,

We recognize that with the constantly changing COVID-19 situation around the world and in our home state this is an unprecedented time for everyone — a time that, for many, is filled with uncertainty. Our hearts and thoughts go out to each and every one of you.

The attorneys and staff at Fraser Trebilcock want you to know that we are open for business and you have our commitment to continue to provide you with the advice, counsel and legal services you depend on. For more than 100 years, our firm has taken a proactive approach in providing comprehensive legal solutions to enhance our clients' lives, protect their interests and power prosperity around the state. This history guides us as we closely monitor, assess and respond to the current situation.

The COVID-19 pandemic is already causing federal, state and local governmental action, which is probably unprecedented in the lifetime of many people. This is already causing displacement of how our world is living, and doing business, which means that immediate compliance and legal consequences will continue to emerge – sometimes overnight – that may require advocacy to protect your interests. We remain at your service in our State Capitol, Detroit and Grand Rapids offices if you have immediate need to deal with government action.

As a valued client or partner of our firm we want you to know that we understand the importance of the services we provide to you and your business especially in times of uncertainty. You rely on us to help manage the risks of everyday life and protect your livelihood. We understand the responsibility that entails. Meeting that responsibility day in and day out, in any environment, is our primary focus.

We are closely monitoring impacts to various client industries, the financial markets, the actions and reactions of federal, state and local officials. There is, and will continue to be economic disruption and dislocations. Our industry specialists are here to assist you and or your business in the following areas:

Borrowing or establishing credit facilities
Business and Tax Law (including business restructuring)
- What changes to deadlines for business and tax obligations?

Contract Law (including the need to re-negotiate or cancel contracts)
