Holman Webb is excited to announce the launch of 'Legal Lockdown' - our new video series aimed at helping Australian businesses navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this weekly series, Holman Webb's CMO Adriana Giometti interviews our senior lawyers, and industry leaders who are working remotely across a wide range of sectors.

Legal Lockdown explores the issues, risks, opportunities and reforms that COVID-19 is creating on the global business landscape and what Australian businesses can do to mitigate disruption and take up opportunities.

In this first episode, Adriana is joined by Alicia Mataere, Special Counsel within Holman Webb's Workplace Relations group, to discuss the Australian government's recently announced JobKeeper payments - set to be received by eligible employers in the first week of May.
