Our Commitment to the Safety and Security of Our People and Clients

A Message from Our Leading Partner, Kyle Parks

As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread in the U.S. and across the world, our priority at Maxwell Locke & Ritter is the safety and well-being of our people, clients, families, and community.  We are monitoring daily updates and recommendations from the CDC.  Additionally, we are minimizing the impact that COVID-19 could have on our services and are staying abreast of all filing deadline adjustments.  We have employed the safeguards below to ensure the health and well-being of our people as well as our clients and friends who visit our offices.  These safeguards should also allow us to continue to meet our clients’ accounting-related deadlines.

• Because of our commitment to a flexible work environment, we have the technological, cultural, and operational infrastructure to work remotely if needed.
• We have software that allows us to meet with our clients remotely to walk through documents electronically and answer questions about deliverables.
• We have large digital file transmitting capabilities, online portals, and IT security services to ensure that the delivery of files to all of our clients is safe and efficient.  If such assistance is needed, please contact your ML&R associate for the best delivery option.
• Our front offices in Austin and Round Rock are closed and our employees are working remotely whenever possible.  If you were planning to visit our office, please instead call (512) 370-3200 for Austin or (512) 370-3299 for Round Rock so that we can discuss how we can best serve you.

ML&R has a business continuity plan for emergencies such as COVID-19.  As your trusted advisors, we will continue to monitor this ever-changing situation and will modify our plan as necessary to ensure we can serve our clients to the best of our abilities. Please contact us here or call (512) 370-3200 if you have any further questions.
