COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on commercial relationships, with the measures imposed to slow the spread of the virus impacting the ability of many organisations to perform their contractual obligations. In this latest webinar of this COVID-19 webinar series, Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP's panel of experts discussed some of the different ways to manage risk in your contracts during the pandemic. They took a detailed look at some of the legal issues that organisations are facing and discussed some practical steps that can be taken to protect your business and manage the risks presented by COVID-19.
Topics included:
- Force majeure provisions - what they are (and what they are not)
- Frustration of contracts
- Whether a change in law provision in a contract may be relevant
- Things to think about to ensure you take the right action to limit your potential liability
