As you know, Hurricane Sandy has wreaked unprecedented damage on the Mid-Atlantic region.

To assist those impacted in navigating the labyrinth of available resources and identifying the best way to protect their assets and restore their losses, we have established a Disaster Recovery Consultation Unit to provide advice, direction and legal services. Our cross-practice team offers clients practical, timely and targeted advice from lawyers fluent in insurance, tax, labor and employment, construction, government contracts and litigation issues.

As a general service, we have also created this Resources Guide to serve as a clearinghouse for key information and resources for those affected by the hurricane.

We are here to help you as you recover. Please reach out to your Fox Rothschild attorney if we may be of assistance to you.
