COVID-19 support for the creative, digital & marketing sector – Resources & Free Weekly Webinars

Guest blog by Steve Kuncewicz, Partner at BLM Law and co-chair of pro-manchester’s Creative & Digital sector committee. Steve and his team have pulled together a series of blogs and support on what businesses (and agencies) need to know about and plan for during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The COVID-19 outbreak is generating uncertainty and worry for the business community like nothing else in recent (or even longer) memory. We’re continuing to do as much as we can to support our clients and contacts through this period, and we’ve created a series of blogs that we hope will be helpful:

• Government support during the Covid-19 outbreak and what you need to know
• Covid-19 / Coronavirus and insolvencies – is the relaxation of wrongful trading laws a complete relief for directors?
• Chancellor Rishi Sunak outlines self-employed Covid-19 / Coronavirus package
• Insolvency – as Covid-19 / Coronavirus presses the accelerator like never before, is it time to go back to basics?

We’re also offering free 30-minute personal risk conversations with our Wills & Estates Team – you can find more details here . Plus our Employment Team has put together a free Template Furlough Agreement that we’ll make available to anyone who gets in touch.

Additionally, we’re going to run weekly free 30-minute Zoom Calls as “Virtual Surgeries” for any pro-manchester member to dial into, with the first to be announced shortly. Again, if you’d like to be involved please contact us.

Whatever challenges you may face over the coming weeks and months, BLM’s Commercial Advisory and Private Wealth team will adapt and do our utmost to help you meet them, and although we may not be able to reassure you in person or engage with you as usual, we’re always available by e-mail, telephone or video.
