Dear clients and collaborators,

Considering the situation regarding Coronavirus in Brazil and worldwide, EAA | Escanhoela Advogados Associados has adopted several methods, with the purpose of helping to prevent the propagation of the sickness and to ensure the welfare and safety of our professionals and clients, as well as of their families.

Taking in consideration the recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), Brazilian Ministry of Health and other health authorities, to restrain COVID-19:

  • Regarding internal or external meetings, we are prioritizing interactions by videoconference or phone calls;
  • Reinforcement to collaborators of orientations about COVID-19 and the importance to redouble cares with personal hygiene, avoiding the proliferation of the virus and other diseases;
  • Orientation that all external trips that are not urgent be postponed or cancelled;
  • Regarding the attendance to hearings, we are verifying the movements of the Judicial Branch and informing our clients about cancellations and reschedulings;
  • Intensification of the cleaning and ventilation of our workplace, keeping, when possible, doors and windows open. Besides, we have made available alcohol in gel on the company’s common areas;
  • Separation of collaborators that present possible symptoms or that had any contact with people contaminated by COVID-19;
  • Contingency planning for, if needed, the flexibilization of hours and remote work to guarantee quality services, preserving the health of our professionals and assistance to our clients.

Such measures may be modified or updated according to the change of scenery in our country. We are keeping track of the evolution of official information and orientations.

We will keep our internal activity normally, but there being an extreme need, we will be rendering our services remotely (we will inform if that happens and the means of contacting us).
