Insights Philippines Legal Advisors Work from Home Protocols

Dear Valued Clients and Colleagues,

In light of the mandatory enhanced community quarantine covering the entire major island of Luzon, including Metropolitan Manila and the National Capital Region, by the Philippine Government on 13 March 2020, we write to inform you that Insights Philippines Legal Advisors had implemented a work from home protocol for all lawyers and staff starting from 13 March 2020 until 13 April 2020.  This is in compliance with the Philippine Government’s orders and to ultimately protect the health and safety of our lawyers, staff, and clients.  We continue to monitor further developments and review evolving declarations from the Philippine Government.

Rest assured that we have our own business continuity plan in place. During this period, although our office premises will be closed, we continue to be operational and reachable through e-mail, telephone, our Microsoft Teams video conferencing system, or any other communication applications or devices.  We are committed to maintaining our legal services delivery and business operations with minimum disruption. We are confident that all ongoing client needs can be serviced effectively, especially in these challenging and uncertain times.

For any questions, please contact our Managing Partner, Felix Sy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the COVID-19 virus and their loved ones.  We hope you and your family remain safe, healthy and vigilant.  Thank you for your continued support and trust in Insights Philippines Legal Advisors.
