Contracts & Employment Document Review |
|
|
|
Robust business contracts are essential in order to minimise disruption to your business.
If disaster strikes, what are your legal rights and are you protected? All too often, terms & conditions of business are out of date, or do not comply with current best practice, which often means that they cannot be relied upon when they’re most needed.
What would you do if your staff refused to work at a new location, or if your main suppliers did not continue to deliver? How would a disaster affect your contractual arrangements? You might wish to suspend your obligations, but would you be legally entitled to do so? Worst of all, could your suppliers or customers use the event to cancel your contracts and/or sue for breach of contract?
The Crisis Survivor Solution We will undertake a preliminary audit to ensure that your contracts and contracts of employment are fit for purpose and identify any gaps – e.g., the absence of contracts that should be in place plus any problems with contracts that do exist. This pre-emptive review, which generates a short report comprising a high-level assessment of the key issues, can easily remove a major source of trouble and avoid the potential for expensive legal actions.
Key Questions Do you have a mobility clause allowing you to move your employees to another site within a certain radius of your premises in the event of a crisis?
Do you have terms and conditions or other contracts in place with your suppliers and customers that:
contain a clause dealing with what will happen if an event outside your control occurs?
allow you to accept delivery from your suppliers at alternative premises at no additional cost?
allow you to suspend or end your contracts if necessary in a crisis?
limit your liability for failure to provide goods or perform an agreed service in a crisis?
Could your suppliers or customers cancel their contracts with you in the event of a crisis and sue you for breach of contract?
