The national coronavirus pandemic, and the unprecedented conditions of Stay Safe, Stay Home orders to protect public health, mean that law firms—like all businesses—face an ever-increasing number of uncertainties in managing their operations, staff, payroll, and finances.

•    Law firm risks during a lockdown
