Pandemic Legal Consequences
Unfortunately, we know that many of your concerns come from issues that have arisen due to the pandemic. Just as we were there to support you with your business law needs in January of 2020, we are here for you now.
Here are some concerns we can address related to your business and the pandemic.
Questions Regarding Government Programs
Many of our clients have questions regarding the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, and the $660 billion Paycheck Protection Program. While this program was, in part, designed to keep employees on the payroll, many business leaders have found the program confusing.

Questions Regarding Selling Products or Services Online
Many business owners tried to stay afloat by shifting the focus from in-person exchanges to the online marketplace. While this change has technological implications, it may have legal ramifications as well. For example, you may need assistance to alter the language of your terms of service or return policies.
Consult with our online business law experts to understand how you may need to change your policies to sell products or services online.
Questions Regarding Legal Changes to Leases and Contracts
You may be struggling to fulfill the terms of your business’ leases and contracts due to the pandemic. Our experts will analyze these legal documents and advise you on how to best protect your business interests.
Questions About Protecting Your Employees and Customers During a Pandemic
You have dutifully followed OSHA guidelines to provide a safe working environment for your employees, but the recent pandemic has changed that playing field. As a San Antonio business owner, you probably have questions on your legal responsibilities to protect your employees from the coronavirus. While many of these questions are health-related, you may also want to make sure that your safety protocol will protect you from legal action should an employee be affected by the virus.
You may also have questions regarding employee furloughs and terminations, and how remote work contracts and policies differ from typical agreements.
Besides being concerned about your employees, there are also legal considerations for interacting with customers and clients. For example, business owners may need to alter the language in contracts to add policies relevant to this and possible future pandemics. San Antonio business owners that interact face-to-face with clients, such as personal trainers, may need help adding waivers within the text of a client’s contract.
