Akin Gump public law and policy senior counsel Josh Teitelbaum has been quoted in the Legaltech News article “Novel or Not, Law Firms Developing COVID-19 Tools to Stay Relevant.” The article looks at the technological steps some firms are taking in order to help clients manage concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.
The article highlights Akin Gump’s interactive map that provides users with information on business closures and stay-at-home orders on a state, county and local level. It is part of the firm’s broader COVID-19 Resource Center, which is updated regularly with legal insights and analysis.
Teitelbaum notes that, while clients may be able to find information on the closures or stay-at-home orders from the media or other sources, he thinks the nuance and analysis a lawyer can provide makes a difference.
“I think clients look to their lawyers for a greater precision and accuracy and nuance than perhaps they might from the popular media. Which isn’t to say that a lot about what you would find about these orders is inaccurate, but it may not be the whole picture,” Teitelbaum said.
