Employment and commercial aspects of Coronavirus

The situation regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is developing worldwide. Companies are now faced with unique challenges and various concerns, including many legal questions. What obligations do employers have? What influence does the GDPR have? Can companies be held liable when dealing with virus-caused situations that are out of their control?

In this podcast, our employment and commercial experts share possible measures and practical recommendations. We touch on employers’ duties to staff and give practical steps that businesses can take to reduce disruption. From a commercial perspective, we discuss whether the Coronavirus situation can get out of our control, if the situation allows a party to terminate a contract and if companies can request amendments.
