Since the earliest days of the pandemic, we worked with clients in essential industries to minimize potential impacts on their operations while safeguarding the health of employees and contractors.

​

Our attorneys advised clients in connection with some of the most stringent regulatory programs in the United States, including California's COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards. We helped clients navigate what were novel legal issues around employee testing, contact tracing, outbreak reporting and mitigation, and the requirement for an employer-specific written COVID-19 Prevention Program. The firm supported clients in their response to COVID inspections by Cal/OSHA and county health departments under county safety orders.

​

We also worked with clients on COVID-related issues at the federal level. We advised clients on the new federal guidance and continue to track federal efforts toward a temporary standard.
