COVID-19 Adjustments

Thursday, March 19, 2020

In response to the rapidly evolving status of the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak, Confluence is continuing to make necessary adjustments to protect the health and safety of our employees, clients and collaborators.

Our prior investments in technology kept our firm ahead of the curve in utilizing remote working and collaborative software to remain available and connected with our valued clients and partners.

While these practices aren’t “business as usual”, they are our collective new normal for the near future. We expect this experience to further enhance our team’s capabilities for being nimble and responsive to the evolving needs of our clients and communities.
