In a rapidly evolving global economy, supply chain disruption has shifted from an operational headache to a strategic and legal challenge. In his recent The Foundation article, “Supply Chain Disruption Risk: A Legal Perspective for Procurement Functions,” Partner Jonathan Todd breaks down the major categories of disruption risk and shares practical guidance for procurement and legal professionals navigating these complexities.
Todd’s article highlights how traditional supply chain practices—such as dependence on single-source suppliers or “dusting off” standard contracts—are no longer sufficient in the face of geopolitical volatility, compliance challenges, and shifting market dynamics. Instead, he emphasizes a proactive risk-management framework that integrates thorough supply mapping, targeted due diligence, and strategic contract drafting tailored to identified risks.
