The top six alternatives to invoking Force Majeure on major contracts (VIRTUAL)

Force Majuere is an option all parties are no doubt considering to null contract obligations due to COVID-19. However, is it the best option? Or the right option?

The procurement challenge right now is to secure vital supply lines and pause discretionary supply. Procurement may also become involved in negotiations and/or seeking new supply for if providers invoke Force Majeure because they are unable to deliver contract requirements.

Before anyone hits that Force Majeure red button, what can be done instead to get through these extraordinary times?  A crucial question is, how do we preserve relationships for later when we may need extra help to restart in a less competitive market with far less certainty than ever before?

Explore the answers and define the top six alternatives in this interactive online PASA Connect Round-table with Dr Sara Cullen, of the University of Melbourne and The Cullen Group, who will introduce and facilitate the discussion, leveraging off the questions raised in a previous PASA Connect online webinar - The Force Majeure refresher, with Aspet Legal on 9th April at noon (SYD).
