Morgan Lewis partner Anne Marie Estevez was quoted by Law360 in an article about the effect of COVID-19 on the retail sector, especially heading into what was traditionally a busy holiday season. According to the article the future of retail has been trending toward e-commerce slowly and the pandemic has caused further challenges for those retailers without an online presence. “Even when we emerge from this pandemic, retailers are going to continue to adapt, and the primary reason for that is that all of the retail trends we've been watching have been accelerated by five years," Estevez said. "We knew it was going to grow fast, but the acceleration in e-commerce has been unfathomable to me."
