The effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and response are diverse, complex and vary by industry and business. To help your organization navigate the impacts on your business, we have developed an integrated, issues-driven checklist as a framework for considering how to respond to the effects of COVID-19.

The checklist will be tailored to your business and industry, ensuring you are considering the impacts most relevant to your organization. It will also hyperlink to relevant resources including thought leadership authored by McCarthy Tétrault lawyers.

The checklist will provide an overview of potential legal implications, and will allow you to consider key issues and review resources on topics including:

• Government programs for funding and business support
• Government enacted emergency measures
• Labour and employment issues
• Capital matters, finance and restructuring
• Contract enforcement
• Real estate and leasing
• Trade and regulatory matters
• Insurance
• Government relations and lobbying

We would be pleased to discuss your unique business needs so that we can tailor the checklist for your organization’s use.
