Navigating contract termination and beyond: a review of recent case law and practical guidance

Ensuring a smooth termination of contractual relationships is a common concern for commercial businesses but the process can be complex and many fail properly to plan their exit strategy, resulting in unforeseen difficulties causing a drain on resources. Thankfully, these can usually be avoided by careful planning prior to initiating any termination, and even at the contract drafting stage itself. 

Our expert panel will draw on their experiences and recent case studies to share useful tips on how to anticipate (and deal with) any such potential pitfalls and ensure that the practical consequences of termination are addressed. They will provide a comprehensive review of relevant caselaw involving contract termination as well as an explanation of how insolvency of a contractual party can impact upon any exit strategy. Finally, our speakers will provide some pointers to consider at the contract drafting stage, in order to place yourself in the best position when it comes to ending the relationship.

The webinar will cover:

• Termination at common law
• Contractual termination
• Insolvency considerations
• Looking beyond termination: what are the consequences?
