A message from NZLS CLE Ltd – COVID-19 Update 2

NZLS CLE Ltd continues to monitor the ongoing situation regarding COVID-19 following Ministry of Health guidelines to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our staff, customers and stakeholders.

The effect of the change to Alert Level 2 on our programmes is under consideration with health and safety remaining the priority. 

We have been working on some new offerings that are compatible with the various Alert Level restrictions and will be updating you via our website and emails when these become available.  

We hope that you have been able to take advantage of the recent free live web streams offered.  We were delighted that over 14,000 practitioners joined the broadcasts which are now available to watch on the ‘Free Recordings’ page on the CLE website if you missed them on the day, these are:

• Working effectively from home during the COVID-19 lockdown

• Remote witnessing and signing of documents during COVID-19 lockdown: A Q & A plus tech tips
• COVID-19 - The operation of the Courts in level 4 and beyond
• Employment Law Matters during COVID-19 Lockdown

We have also been working on producing further programmes geared toward the topics of highest relevance to lawyers in these difficult times. These include a very successful Commercial Leases COVID-19 disputes, and Progressing your case during the COVID-19 restrictions; to come in June, please have a look at: Validation  of wills – COVID-19 related issues, and Insolvency – key developments in light of COVID-19.
