From the Covid-19 pandemic to the Suez Canal blockage in March this year, the past year and a half has highlighted the need for businesses to be prepared for the unexpected. Since no one can predict what the future will bring, it is vital for businesses to be able to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances and manage their legal liabilities which may be affected as a result.
One way of doing this is by having robust and up-to-date commercial contracts in place. A failure to have up-to-date commercial contracts in place may inadvertently expose businesses to unnecessary legal and financial liability. Equally, a failure to have contracts in place that can adapt to changing circumstances may hamper any ability to manage those legal and financial liabilities. The recent departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union (i.e. Brexit) emphasises the need for businesses to regularly review their commercial contracts to ensure that they are still fit for purpose.
So, if you are have not reviewed your commercial contracts recently, or are unsure whether they are up-to-date, some of the questions you should ask yourself are:
If the answer to any of the above questions is no, then you may wish to consider reviewing your contracts to ensure that they adequately protect your business interests.
