While many law firms may be positioned to weather the coronavirus's impact on the economy, some small firms and solo practitioners are scrambling—and the New York State Bar Association is trying to help.
The group is creating an emergency task force to connect small firms and solos with economic aid, help them transition to working from home and advocate for them with state and federal policymakers. More than half of the group's members are solos or work at firms with 10 or fewer lawyers.
"COVID-19 is having a devastating impact on solo and small firm practitioners, many of whom have limited financial resources to draw upon during the crisis," said Greenberg Traurig's Hank Greenberg, the group's president, in a statement. "The task force will focus like a laser beam on these lawyers' immediate needs, in addition to helping them meet the challenges the profession will face when the crisis subsides."
