Recent regional developments have reshaped the way parties negotiate commercial agreements. Hear from experienced practitioners as they share practical insights on managing risk, allocating responsibility, and reducing the potential for future disputes.

This webinar will examine how recent regional developments have influenced the negotiation and conclusion of long-term commercial contracts. Bringing together perspectives from in-house counsel and private practice, the discussion will explore how businesses are reassessing contractual risk, adapting negotiation strategies, and drafting agreements that are better equipped to withstand future uncertainty.

The panel will consider practical issues including the allocation of commercial risk, force majeure and hardship provisions, change in circumstances, supply chain disruption, and other contractual mechanisms designed to preserve commercial relationships while minimising the risk of future disputes. Particular attention will be given to the lessons learned from recent events and how those lessons can be translated into more resilient contract drafting and negotiation practices.

The webinar will begin with opening remarks from a distinguished keynote speaker, followed by a moderated panel discussion and an interactive Q&A session with participants.

This event is open to anyone with an interest in commercial contracting and dispute resolution, including in-house counsel, private practitioners, arbitrators, business professionals, academics, and students. Whether you negotiate, draft, advise on, or manage long-term commercial relationships, the discussion will offer practical insights into navigating uncertainty and strengthening contractual resilience.
