Following recent recommendations made by the relevant public health organizations to slow the spread of COVID-19, effective immediately MEP Business Counsel has advised its team members, where possible, to work from home. The majority of our team (lawyers, paralegals and staff) will be working remotely until further notice, and are able to do so seamlessly through the systems we have put into place at the Firm. For now, our Vancouver office will remain open with standard office hours, with a limited number of essential staff to monitor ongoing operations, however we have asked our team not to arrange any in-person meetings unless absolutely necessary.  We’ll be using phone and video calls to meet with our team and our clients. We encourage you to send emails to your primary contact(s) at the Firm, as that will be the most efficient and quickest way to correspond.  Our office phone lines are VOIP-based and will be redirected to our mobile devices automatically. We recognize the overall uncertainty and disruptions during this time, however we remain absolutely committed to the health and safety of our team, clients, families and the community – as well as the continued exceptional level of service our clients have come to expect from our Firm. We will continue to monitor the situation, and provide further updates as required.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
