Sivia Law July Newsletter

Brad Smith • July 1, 2020
Welcome to the Sivia Law July Newsletter, a monthly newsletter that discusses updates in the industry, news going on in the office, upcoming events and more.
 
Our latest webinar featured Attorney Todd Sivia and Attorney Shannon McDonnell in which they discussed topics concerning divorce. This process can be complicated, and they help break it down in relationship to a legal perspective. Watch the replay of the webinar here.

COVID-19 has changed the way we do business. We are actively keeping our clients and employees safe:
  • Sanitizing pens, folders, and surfaces around the office
  • Office disinfection schedule
  • Attorneys are wearing masks while in contact with any clients
  • Signings are taking place outside our office

Big Announcement #2

We have added a new member to the Sivia Law team. Everyone meet Eddie Sivia, Attorney at Paw! Our furry coworker will be trained as an emotional support dog and will be in the Edwardsville office starting in August. 



Small Business Spotlight

Our "Sivia Spotlight" campaign highlights some of our local business clients, vendors and friends. We greatly appreciate the local support toward our small business and want to reciprocate the hospitality to others in the area. Last month, we highlighted Minas Espresso located in Edwardsville. Check out the video to learn about the process associated with producing specialty coffee.



Upcoming Events

On July 18th, we are hosting an open house for the Elder Financial Center in East Alton. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., we will be barbecuing out on the lawn and celebrating the grand opening of the location. We will be abiding by CDC guidelines, so please wear a mask and maintain social distancing.


Tune in next month for the "August" issue of the Sivia Law Monthly Newsletter!
