“I have been in South Florida all my life and by all accounts, Irma is the mother of all storms,” said managing partner Eduardo Rasco from the Aventura law firm of Rosenthal Rosenthal Rasco. “We are encouraging our employees to make preparations early, even if it means getting to work late or leaving early Wednesday or Thursday. We are scheduled to close Friday so our employees can get their final preparations done. This is going to be a bad storm and a little extra preparation may make a big difference.”
The firm Kenny Nachwalter’s past hurricane procedure has been to close the office when a hurricane warning goes up. But because of the huge threat posed by Hurricane Irma, the firm implemented a staggered schedule on Tuesday to allow employees to secure their homes, shop for supplies and put up shutters before the hurricane warnings are announced, said the firm’s general counsel Deborah S. Corbishley.
