How to Stay Safe During In-Person Meetings, Depositions, and More

Across the states, legal professionals are returning to their physical offices following many months of quarantine. One of the hardest things about making this transition is learning how to navigate in-person meetings, depositions, and conferences in a safe manner. 

As medical professionals have been saying, you should wear a mask and socially distance as much as you can. Other tips including washing your hands before and after meetings, and making sure to only use your own supplies so you don’t have to come in physical contact with others. But how else can you stay stafe? By creating a socially distant conference space at your office. Here are a few ways to do so:

• If your meeting space is centered around a large table, make sure you have a seat or two between each person.
• If you can, have several small tables instead of one large one so each person can have their own, designated space.
• Limit the amount of people present to only the people who absolutely have to be there.
• Make sure you give each person ample space to exit and enter the room.
