Shimanovsky & Moscardini, LLP
COVID-19 Reopening Plan and Guidelines
Visitors, Deliveries and Clients
EFFECTIVE JUNE 8, 2020
In addition to the guidelines and reopening steps set forth by our Landlord, we are also instituting
the following measures and procedures. These are being instituted to try and ensure safety for all
employees, as well as any, clients that may visit our office when we reopen. Keep in mind that this
is an unprecedented time and we may need to adjust as we move forward. The measures we are
implementing are as follows:- In the event no one is seated at front desk, the door will be locked and we will have a buzzer installed and/or a system in place to reach a person in the office in the event of a delivery or if a client visits the office.
- If someone is at the front desk, the door will be propped open so that the doorknobs will not need to be touched.
- We will require all clients to wear a face covering or mask while at our office and maintain at least 6 feet of distance.
- We will have one chair in the lobby, and it will be one that can be easily sanitized or wiped down if anyone uses it.
- We will also provide hand sanitizer, gloves and extra face covering in the event anyone comes to the office unprepared.
- Out of an overabundance of caution and as an extra layer of protection, we have installed a plastic barrier / sneeze guard at the front desk.
- In the event more than one client appears at the same time, and they are not together regarding the same legal matter, one person will be required to remain in the hallway, at an appropriate distance apart until the prior appointment vacates the office and exists the elevator or stairs.
- All visitors must acknowledge that they do not have Covid-19, have had no symptoms over the last several days and have not been in contact within anyone they are aware of who has had Covid-19 within the last 14 days before entering the suite.
Monday through Thursday: If the door is locked and no one is at the front desk, please call either 312-876-0600 or 312-782-2585 to gain access. Please note that our office is temporarily closed on Fridays.
Be safe and healthy.
