COVID-19

As the COVID-19 situation unfolds, McKay Ferg LLP’s offices are closed for in-person visits. However, the firm remains fully operational and we remain committed to providing both our new and existing clients with high quality legal services.

Over the past several years, McKay Ferg LLP has invested heavily in our IT capabilities to ensure all of the members of our team are able to work securely from any location. As a result, we have full access to all of our files and resources at all times.

Communications

We have access to numerous communication platforms (including video-conferencing) to ensure we are able to communicate clearly and securely with our clients despite the current social distancing measures. If you have a matter you wish to discuss, please call our main reception at (403) 984-1919 or contact us here.

File Management & Collaboration

We use an electronic file management system called “Clio™” which is designed specifically for law firms. It offers a number of security safeguards including encrypted access, encrypted storage and daily security audits and malware testing. Our data is backed up on multiple servers in real time.

This platform is ideal for remote client collaboration. Through the “Clio Connect” platform, we offer our clients access to a secure virtual portal to view any shared documents and correspondence. The portal is an SSL encrypted online environment that allows you to access shared documents or upload information to us at any time.

Information Updates

The current public health crisis is unprecedented. The courts have significantly modified their operations to help slow the spread of COVID-19. We are closely monitoring the situation and updating our clients with new information as it becomes available.
