The Creative Industries Federation is offering a series of Webinars for members.

The next webinar is Coronavirus and its Impact on Contractual Obligations in Wednesday 8 April at 3:30pm.
Why this course?
The COVID-19 pandemic has been the most disrupting event most of us can remember. For many businesses, everything has ground to a halt. Many of you have contracts which either you – or the other party – can no longer perform, either because performance has become literally impossible (e.g. because supplies cannot get through to you, or what you had intended to do is currently banned by the government) or impractical (e.g. because you no longer need the supplies as there is no demand for your goods, or you simply no longer have the money to pay under the contract).
Join Peter Nunn, Legal Director at Mishcon de Reya LLP solicitors, who will be explaining more about this and answering your questions during an exclusive webinar for Creative Industries Federation members.
The webinar will explore potential paths out of these problems. This could include contracts containing a “force majeure” clause, excusing a failure to perform your obligations if an event occurs which is outside of your control, or if a contract could be “frustrated” by the pandemic, meaning that it is immediately terminated.
