Over the past few weeks and particularly over the last few days,
our commercial real estate lawyers have been communicating with our
clients and industry stakeholders with respect to the impact
COVID-19 could have on their impending purchases, sales,
financings, existing leases and ongoing real estate development
projects.
While COVID-19’s effect on business continuity across the
Province of Ontario continues to evolve hourly, we would like to
take this opportunity to provide some guidance on these matters and
to let you know what we at Torkin Manes are doing to attempt to
minimize the impact of this global pandemic on our
clients.
As you will be aware, on March 23, 2020, Ontario Premier Doug
Ford announced a mandatory shutdown of all non-essential workplaces
across Ontario, effective as of 11:59 PM on March 24, 2020. The
list of essential businesses can be viewed
here, and we are pleased to inform you that Torkin
Manes remains open for business.
