Webinar - Preparing for claims in times of covid-19
Monday 28 Septembre / 10.00 - 11.30
While many businesses are focusing on immediate issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increased sense of urgency to prepare for potential claims.
In some jurisdictions, there has already been a double-digit increase in suits filed in the first half of April, of which a significant number mentioned the “coronavirus”. This webinar aims to address the types of claims and lawsuits that may be – and indeed are already – forthcoming, be it insurance claims for business interruption, claims against business partners for breach of contract, or lawsuits against government stemming from COVID-19 relief packages.
In addition to identifying the claims that may arise, this webinar will explain how businesses can quantify their economic losses and manage their disputes efficiently at a time when local courts will be facing backlogs for the foreseeable future.
