The public health crisis has deeply impacted, in an unprecedented way, life in both businesses and society as a whole. The fragile equilibriums in the world are shifting quickly, and Law is changing with them.
At Gide, we are highly conscious of these new economic, social and legal issues. Our ambition is to assist our clients in understanding them to their full, and meet the challenges that need to be met.
What are the impacts on organisations? Are new expectations already arising? What is the impact of digital tools and new usages on businesses? How can we adapt projects as regards ethics and CSR in the midst of an economic crisis? How can we put in place new initiatives in the service of the future?
Businesses' capacity to innovate, reinvent themselves, and work differently will also be of paramount importance in the "world after". Gide strives to find the most suitable legal solutions to the upcoming issues. Through Gide Rebound, Gide is further confirming its position as an ideas lab.
Gide Rebound is a cross-disciplinary offer that is in keeping with the discussions and work carried out by our Covid-19 Taskforce. From the very beginning of the health crisis, our lawyers combined their expertise to offer concrete answers to their clients' legal needs, for instance by regularly analysing all the Ordinances of France's Emergency Law and making them available on our website. Throughout this singular period, our approach was characterised by high responsiveness and local and collective commitment. Today, our teams are focused on finding solutions to build a new world after Covid.
Without forsaking the analysis of emergency legislation, with our returning freedom the time has come to launch prospects on the short, medium and long term: such is our wish, and the logic behind Gide Rebound.
