Bird & Bird Q&A Live Forum: "Contractual and Technology Implications of COVID-19"

This webinar is one in a series that Bird & Bird is delivering to help you navigate the diverse issues that have arisen with the spread of COVID-19.

In this edition, we will be conducting a live forum on "Contractual and Technology Implications of COVID-19". Our regional panel, comprising of Hamish Fraser (Partner, Sydney office), Jeremy Tan (Partner, Singapore office), Jolie Giouw (Counsel, Singapore office), Mark Bennett (Counsel, Hong Kong office) will offer different perspectives on questions you may come across including "What's the impact on our contractual obligations in light of COVID-19?" and "What technology implications are there with our employees working from home?". They will be joined by our moderator, Loren Leung (Senior Associate, Sydney office).

The topics for discussion will include the following:

• Performance issues –  e.g. meeting milestones and achieving KPIs / service levels

• Administrative issues – e.g. validity of e-signatures

• Operational issues – e.g. implementing business continuity plans

• Tech / Licensing issues – e.g. remote access rights

• Data / Cybersecurity issues – e.g. cyber risks of remote working.

As we would like to make the forum interactive, you will be able to ask questions during the forum through a chat box function, we will pick up as many questions from the participants on these topics as time allows. We will also be receiving questions ahead of the session to make it as relevant to you as possible. Please feel free to contact us here.
