Porter Hedges Update Regarding COVID-19

To Our Porter Hedges Community:

As we all continue to adjust to the rapidly changing news around COVID-19, the health and safety of our employees, clients, and those in our broader community remain a priority. We are taking cues from public health officials about prudent steps to protect everyone, and Porter Hedges is here to support our clients.

Our law firm remains open for business. We have made a significant investment in our technology infrastructure in order to support a seamless remote working environment. A number of our attorneys and staff are already operating in this environment. You will continue to have immediate access to your team at Porter Hedges via email, phone, or video. We are also rescheduling or cancelling any internal and external firm events over the next two weeks. Whatever the situation dictates, rest assured that our partnership with your business will remain uninterrupted.

To support the broader community effort, for the next two weeks, we have also asked our employees to eliminate non-essential travel, postpone or cancel group meetings, and use video conference technology when appropriate. We also appreciate that our clients have implemented their own policies and procedures, and we will support your individual efforts as well.

Please do not hesitate to contact your relationship attorney for more information. As we all face unprecedented times, Porter Hedges is proud to work with you to ensure that all of our collective employees and their families stay safe and healthy.
