COVID19 - LOCKDOWN. In an attempt to prevent the spread of Covid19 and the concomitant loss of life, our Government has implemented measures which will have the unavoidable effect of businesses no longer being able to be conducted entirely as usual.
Fluxmans supports the stringent but essential steps taken by our Government, notwithstanding that the lockdown will cause constraints in the service offerings of many industries including our own. We have put in place measures for key personnel to be able to work from home. For a number reasons not all our staff will be in a position to do so.
All of our directors, attorneys and other selected professional staff have been provided with mobile solutions to attend to as much work as possible. Please feel free to contact any of us as you have done in the past should you require any assistance during these tough and desperate of times. Should you however be unable to contact any specific person, please feel free to contact any of the undermentioned members of Exco who will organise assistance for you should you require it:
Colin Strime – 083 251 3901 – cstrime@fluxmans.com;
Ira Epstein – 083 230 8291 – iepstein@fluxmans.com;
Danie Pretorius – 082 336 4012 – dpretorius@fluxmans.com;
Jack Phalane – 082 770 6573 – jphalane@fluxmans.com. from time to time.
We assure you that from our perspective all that has changed is the venue from which we will be providing our legal expertise and services.
Service of documents and legal processes are subject to such directions as may be laid down by the judiciary from time to time.
Telephonic and video conferences can be scheduled with attorneys via Teams, Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts or other options.
Conveyancing and related matters will be subject to such directions as are laid down by the Registrar of Deeds. It is important to note, however that the Deeds Office, Municipal Clearance Departments and the offices of Managing Agents will be closed during the lockdown period.
The unprecedented times ahead of us will, I am sure, prove most challenging for all of us, but not insurmountable.
We thank you for your continued support and look forward to being of service to you both during the lockdown period and thereafter.
Warm regards
IRA EPSTEIN
