From contract inception to breach to litigation, businesses need to manage risk and preserve rights and remedies in the event of a dispute. In evaluating risk of loss, or whether litigation is an appropriate strategy, it is imperative to understand rights and remedies under applicable law, as well as the ability to contractually shift or limit them.
This presentation will provide comprehensive guidance on the rights, remedies and damages under applicable law including the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and when consequential damages, incidental damages, liquidated damages, lost profits, and equitable remedies are available and can be limited or shifted. The panel will also discuss the impact of default penalties and attorneys’ fees provisions.
Corporate attorney Elizabeth Tedford and litigator Jonathan Krisko of Robinson Bradshaw will join forces with WakeMed’s Interim Chief Legal Officer Brian Lynde to review the lifecycle of a commercial contract, from drafting and negotiation considerations, through performance and potential later disputes. They will highlight key contractual provisions that can better protect you should a future dispute occur; identify the kinds of deal terms that are frequently ambiguous and give rise to disputes; and discuss how different dispute resolution mechanisms, which often are not the focus of contract negotiations, can impact the ultimate outcome of a commercial dispute.
