Delayed or aborted corporate transactions, disrupted supply chains, sharp decreases in corporate earnings, concerns over commercial viability of contracts, major event cancellations and decreased consumer activity are all playing a part in the disruption of markets and businesses around the globe due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We continue to monitor the legal implications of coronavirus and have used our regulatory capabilities and industry sector understanding to produce a range of practical guidance, delivered through client updates, articles and a series of webinars.

Some of the immediate implications we are seeing on businesses across industries include:

  • Understanding the potential use of force majeure clauses.
  • Challenges within contracts, supply chains and M&A or joint venture transactions, including frustration, MACs and breach of representation/warranty.
  • Interpreting federal, state and county “Critical Infrastructure,” “Life-Sustaining Business,” and “Essential Business” designations, exceptions, and waiver issues in the U.S. and similar designations of critical business and stay-in-place orders across the globe.
  • The impact on employment relationships across jurisdictions, from both health & safety and employee relationship management perspectives.
  • Increased risk of cybersecurity threats and corporations breaking data privacy rules.
  • Insurance coverage queries, including liability insurance, business interruption insurance and scenarios such as event cancellation.
  • Planning and deploying crisis response plans.
