This briefing sets out practical considerations for companies in ensuring continued corporate compliance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ordinarily, the day-to-day running of a company requires a large amount of human interaction – to hold members' meetings and board meetings, sign documents, and file forms with the Companies Registration Office ("CRO").The COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular the restrictions on travel and prohibition on meetings of more than two people introduced by the Government on 26 March and which are set to last until, at least, 19 April (the "Restrictions") make the day-to-day running of a company more difficult but not, generally, impossible.
