CBA developed this resource to help your law firm or organization transition back to in-office operations once permitted by the province/territory where you practice. The health and safety of your people and your clients remain paramount. You should continue to refer to your region’s Health Officer and government notices for the latest protections, contact restrictions, and re-opening plans, and adapt your return to the office plan accordingly.
The information provided in this document assumes that physical distancing requirements will remain in place for the foreseeable future and that small gatherings (up to 10-15 people) will be permitted in the first phase of re-opening.
This resource was developed with contributions from CBA staff, members and firms, human resources professionals, and leading Canadian and international organizations.
Your People
The people in your firm are your most important asset. So, let’s start with them.
Your Office
The biggest impact to your physical space will be increased sanitizing and disinfecting procedures, and complying with physical distancing requirements.
Your Clients
Your clients are crucial to your business, so it is critical to re-introduce in-person meetings safely.
