March 24, 2020 Dear Clients and Colleagues: Governor Larry Hogan has enacted an executive order that closes all non-essential businesses in Maryland today at 5 p.m. This DOES NOT include professional service offices, like KatzAbosch. However, please keep in mind that we are not seeing clients in our offices and our associates are working remotely. For a complete list of essential businesses that will remain open during this time, click here. For our clients and contacts I want to assure you business will continue as usual to the very best of our ability. WE WILL CONTINUE TO… Serve You Remotely. KatzAbosch operates on an advanced technology platform which allows us to serve clients whether our team members are at one of our offices, at a client location or at home. As a result, we expect this disruption to be minimal. While our goal is to maintain the highest level of service during this health crises, we must remain flexible with our team members who are working to balance family needs due to the initiative to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
