Law Society Finuas Skillnet is delighted to announce the launch of #Rebound, a Skillnet Ireland Initiative to help business get back on track post Covid-19.

In 2020, a new workplace norm is necessary due to the pandemic. SMEs and owner managers are looking to their solicitors to advise them regarding the legal implications for their business and employees arising from this new norm.
