Key considerations when managing supply chain disruptions during a crisis | Practical Law
This checklist provides an overview of legal and commercial issues to consider when dealing with a public emergency or disaster, such as a flood, earthquake, tropical cyclone, pandemic (such as the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)) or other crisis such as a cyber attack, financial crisis or trade war, that results in a disruption of the supply chain. This checklist includes practical tips for assessing the impact on the supply chain, analysing upstream and downstream contracts, reviewing force majeure clauses and other defences for non-performance, evaluating insurance coverage, stabilising the supply chain, preparing for litigation and planning for the next crisis.
