The safety of our clients and staff is of paramount importance to us at Myers & Co Solicitors, which is why we are introducing the wearing of face coverings at our offices from 8 August 2020, in line with new Government guidelines.
The law is expanding the number of places that members of the public will be required to wear face coverings to include premises providing professional, legal, or financial services.

We ask that clients bring their own face coverings where possible when attending meetings at our offices, but the Myers & Co team will be happy to provide you with one if you forget.
The law does provide for some situations and exemptions where people do not have to wear a face covering. This includes (but is not limited to):
There are also scenarios when you are permitted to remove a face covering when asked, such as for identification purposes.
Myers & Co Solicitors would like to reassure our clients and contacts that we are still hard at work providing legal advice and handling your instructions.
Face coverings are not currently required to be worn by staff, but they will continue to follow guidance based on our workplace health and safety assessment.
