Across the world companies of all sizes and all industries are re-examining their supplier, service provider, and customer relationships in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. As interruption spread, many organizations quickly turned to their current contracts in order to understand impact to performance, payment obligations, and risk. Now, as stay-at-home orders come to a close, it is time to turn attention to emerging best practices when contracting in the present and post-COVID environment.
This session will take a practical outcomes-based approach to understanding three key areas of business and legal risk under contracts. Attendees will have the opportunity to understand, discuss, and apply: (1) Force Majeure Provisions; (2) Waivers and Limitations of Liability; and (3) Indemnity Provisions. These set the foundation for high-visibility and high-impact contract risk in the COVID-19 world and beyond.
