Forward(Recorded Webinar) Breaking Contracts Over COVID-19
This course is closed to new enrollments.
It hardly needs to be said the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic has been deadly and taken its toll on a number of lives. It has also upended the way we do business and run our operations. Many of the “best laid plans” that were made before the pandemic now seem to be better off canceled at worst or postponed indefinitely at best. Even though some relief is on the horizon through the CARES Act, many federal grant recipients have been forced to consider whether and how they can extricate themselves from certain contractual obligations whether with suppliers, consultants, or other third parties. By the same token, your organization may have received notice from some of your vendors, suppliers, or consultants that they cannot perform their contractual obligations to you due to “force majeure.”
With an emphasis on the perspective of federal grant recipients, this webinar will offer a framework for evaluating whether and how to attempt to discontinue a contract with a third party and will address damages clauses in contracts as well as the contractual principles of “Acts of God” and “force majeure” as well as “impossibility” and “frustration of purpose.” Apart from contract termination, what other types of relief are available? This webinar is intended to assist your organization with identifying options for obtaining relief from having to perform under certain contracts while minimizing contractual risk areas and taking into account federal grant considerations.
Target Audience
- Leadership/C-Suite
- Operations and Management Staff
- Finance Personnel
- Anyone who manages vendor relationships or otherwise has contract/procurement responsibilities
