Covid-19 coronavirus

These are uncertain times for all of us, and we want to let you know that we are here for you. We remain committed to the safety and well-being of our firm family, our clients and our communities, and we are closely following the recommendations of state and national health organizations.

Wright Lindsey Jennings has been planning possible contingencies in response to COVID-19 for some time and, thanks to that preparedness, we remain fully operational. We are committed to serving your legal needs without disruption and encourage you to contact us at the phone numbers and email addresses you always use.

As we face unprecedented challenges in the coming days, our dedication to the continuity of service is unwavering, as it has been for 120 years. We are mindful of the role we play in protecting the strength and health of Arkansans and Arkansas businesses. We take this responsibility seriously and are humbled to stand by you in facing the business and legal issues arising in this rapidly developing situation.

Below, we have provided a list of resources that we hope you find helpful as we work together during these uncertain times. Some are business and industry focused and some sources offer helpful information addressing community resources and needs. We will continue to update this list as needed:
