Episode Details

What does increasing geopolitical and supply chain uncertainty mean for the contracts and commercial relationships businesses rely on?

In this episode of View from Asia, Amanda Lees, Mallesons partner in Singapore, and International Director David Olsson AM explore why force majeure is back in the spotlight as businesses navigate disruption. They consider how force majeure clauses apply in practice, how businesses should approach long-term and cross-border contracts, and when other contractual protections may be needed.

They also examine the role of trusted relationships and local knowledge across Asia, and the practical questions boards and executives should be asking to build resilience before disruption occurs.
