Corporate Governance During Covid-19

In each of Appleby's jurisdictions, measures have been taken to combat the spread of COVID-19. While the measures vary somewhat, international travel is curtailed and residents who are not essential workers are encouraged or required to stay at home. As a result, many people, particularly those in the financial industry, are working remotely, and face to face meetings have become challenging (and in some instances, impossible). The inability to meet face to face as a board, or to attend closings or document signings in person, raises a number of corporate governance issues for which creative solutions are required.
