In accordance with the restrictions imposed by the French government to slow the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, the law firm Arst Avocats has adapted its operations. Its offices will be closed to the public until further notice, and all staff are encouraged to work from their homes.
However, these measures do not call into question the continuity of services offered to clients of the firm Arst Avocats, quite the contrary.
Regarding contentious matters, they continue to be processed within the required timeframes and lawyers will attend hearings when these are maintained.
Regarding its advisory activity, the firm Arst Avocats continues to monitor ongoing operations and, more generally, to respond to all requests from its clients.
Above all, Arst Avocats is currently deploying specific resources to respond to the crisis situation that the firm's clients are experiencing:
- Regular publication on its website and social media of official recommendations in the various areas of law where Covid-19 is most affected (social law, contract law, insolvency law) in order to stay up-to-date with developments in the French and European regulatory context
- Two "hotlines" (social and business) have been set up to answer legal questions relating to the consequences of the epidemic
- Individual support for clients who request it to determine and implement all measures that can already be taken (partial unemployment of employees, deferral of social security contributions, contractual suspensions)
Finally, because the current crisis will impact the contractual relationships of almost all companies operating in France, Arst Avocats has developed a "Covid19" clause whose purpose is to organize the consequences of the postponement or cancellation of services that can no longer be provided and offers consulting and support services in the adaptation, negotiation and implementation of this clause or of contracts concluded, through amendments.
Arst Avocats, which has also developed specific expertise in mass contract auditing, can conduct the examination of large quantities of contracts to examine the issues associated with the clauses they may contain (unforeseen circumstances, force majeure, termination, penalties).
During this period, the firm Arst Avocats is therefore fully mobilized so that its clients can count on its presence, responsiveness and support.
The partners can be contacted at any time at the following numbers:

- Chaouki Gaddada: 06 24 09 24 20
And this is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
During this period, doing one's job, serving one's clients, is the best response to this crisis so that its consequences are not amplified.
