Chamber Digital - The effects of COVID19 on Business Contracts

Description

Chamber Digital Webinar sessions are NEW for Doncaster Chamber! They will enable you to hear from an expert in their field sharing best practice, knowledge and experience. During this period of uncertainty our aim is to keep businesses moving and talking.

Each session will comprise of 20 minutes from an expert speaker followed by an interactive Q&A where you will be able to ask the expert questions directly. There will be an opportunity to have further discussions with the expert after the session has finished.

Overview:

• What if we or our supplier can’t fulfill the contract?
• How do I avoid a costly dispute?
• Will there be a new way of doing business?

The initial priority for most businesses has been the protection of its employees but as the new “normal” begins to emerge businesses will be making important decisions regarding capacity, marketplace, cash flow, supply chains and distribution mechanisms.  In many cases solutions to those problems will be found and they may be in the contract documents themselves. It’s worth considering those options and others before frustrations set in and disputes arise.
