Supply Chain issues in the Energy Sector: How to deal with Contract Breaches
Speakers
Supply chain problems are widespread across the renewables and wider energy sector. The effects of pandemic disruption, economic recovery, and now armed conflict in Eastern Europe are bound to impact the ease with which cross-border supply chains function.
In this hour long webinar we will discuss the key contractual issues to be aware of in this environment, including:
- Context – what supply chain strains are we seeing in the energy sector?
- Contract renegotiation – how to deal with requests to renegotiate?
- Disruption/impossibility - when might a party be relieved from an obligation to perform by extreme events?
- Force majeure - when to invoke and how to respond to force majeure notices.
- Breach of contract and remedies - what options do you have when your counterparty breaches its obligations?
- Lessons for drafting supply chain contracts now – how to avoid problems in future.
The session will benefit from expert insights from those involved in structuring, drafting, negotiating, and litigating contracts in the energy sector.
