To our val­ued clients, friends and busi­ness part­ners:

Over the past few weeks, with the esca­la­tion of the COVID-19 out­break, we at Swaab have tak­en pre­cau­tions to ensure the safe­ty, health and well­be­ing of our peo­ple, clients and visitors.

As the cri­sis con­tin­ues to increase in Aus­tralia, we have made the deci­sion that from Mon­day 23 March 2020 we will divide our entire work­force (includ­ing part­ners) into two groups. One group will work remote­ly whilst the oth­er group will work in the office. This will rotate week­ly, except where they need to attend our offices for busi­ness-crit­i­cal rea­sons. In addi­tion, we will also be review­ing the option of our entire work­force work­ing remotely.

This is a pre-emp­tive action to pro­tect our peo­ple and our clients. We are very for­tu­nate, that as far as we are aware none of our peo­ple have con­tract­ed Covid-19.

We are com­mit­ted to pro­vid­ing an excel­lent lev­el of ser­vice to you dur­ing this phase. Our busi­ness con­ti­nu­ity pro­gram has planned for this lev­el of remote work­ing. Our lawyers and part­ners are avail­able to talk to our clients at any time.

Kind regards,
Mary Digiglio
Man­ag­ing Partner
