With the growing impact of the novel coronavirus, international trade and employment specialists from Stephenson Harwood recently spoke at a webinar for in-house lawyers. Partner Andrew Rigden Green and senior associate Elizabeth Sloane considered whether the current situation is a force majeure event, and the associated implications for trading and carriage of goods contracts. Partner Jezamine Fewins focused on what employers need to know in respect of their risks and obligations, considering mandatory requirements versus best practice, and looking at a range of practical steps available to employers. More than 300 attendees joined the session.
