Business and Legal analysis of COVID-19 risk assessment
Our law firm can help you understand the impact of COVID-19 on your business and contractual relationships.
For example, many contracts have “Force Majeure” clauses that are generally used in the ordinary course of business as boilerplate terms. The COVID-19 pandemic may qualify as “force majeure” thereby excusing non-performance of contractual obligations. The question of whether the pandemic is covered under those clauses depends on the specific language of the clause and the judicial interpretation in the relevant jurisdiction.
Should you have any questions regarding the enforceability of your contractual arrangements due to COVID-19, please do not hesitate to contact us.
