In light of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the four countries in which Affinitas is present are taking specific actions to mitigate the spread of the corona virus. They also have specific regulations that will impact business operations in each country.

Our member firms have reacted swiftly and are informing clients about these measures and regulatory frameworks to help clients make sense of the risks face and mitigation strategies they can implement.

Affinitas will update this dedicated webpage with the information releases and insights issued by our member Firms.
