COVID 19: We Are Open and Here To Help!

Client safety is important to Moe Hannah and so is client service. The health of our staff and clients is our top priority.  If clients and counsel prefer to work remotely during this difficult time, options exist for us to provide this service. Moe Hannah is able to do “virtual” non face-to-face meeting through internet conferencing.  We can do virtual consultations, mediation, or mediation/arbitration.

Easy How-to instructions:

We will email a link for the conference to each participant. Each participant can simply click on it to join at the scheduled time.  Ideally, you would be on an electronic device with a microphone and a camera. The only requirement is internet access and a device suitable for the conference.  Some people just use their cell phones.  A computer is sometimes preferable, but a smart phone will work.

If you have any questions, please call or email us to talk about how we can make this work. 

We can still meet at Moe Hannah LLP for those people that would prefer to personally attend.  If you are wanting to attend in person, we ask that you answer the following questions:

  • Are you experiencing a fever, new cough that started within the last 14 days, sore throat or any other new signs of respiratory illness?
  • In the last 14 days before illness onset, have you travelled anywhere outside of Canada?
  • In the last 14 days, have you had close contact with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19?
  • Have you had close contact with a person with acute respiratory illness who has travelled anywhere outside of Canada within the 14 days?

Everyone entering our office will be screened in accordance with the latest Alberta Health Guidelines. 

Our lawyers and assistants are set up to work remotely and we will continue mediation, mediation/arbitration and client meetings using Teams Video Conferencing, as well as our regular telephone conferencing.

The Courts have announced that they are limiting access to urgent family law mattes. In light of this, parties may want to consider the mediation/arbitration process.  If you are interested in finding out more information regarding the mediation and arbitration process, please go to our website.

Please get in touch with your lawyer and/or assistant if you have any questions regarding your matter.

We look forward to working with you and helping you move forward during this difficult time.
