This program will:
•    Discuss litigation hold and its application for the company.
•    Explore document preservation, including the preservation of drafts, emails and internal company documents.
•    Discuss who becomes a witness and how the witness will prepare, including both business and in-house counsel.
•    Explore the interplay and application of attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine, especially when the negotiations of the contract are being discovered.
•    Discuss handling ambiguities, identifying them before litigation, developing parole evidence, and fixing them for the next contract.
•    Explore ethics issues involving document preservation, the role of in-house counsel, and representation issues for outside counsel.

Join ACC Chicago and Taft Law to find out what “Force Majeure” and “uninhabitable” means during COVID-19. Our presenters will cover the topic of force majeure provisions in commercial contracts, the “test” for whether force majeure can be invoked, and steps that parties may take to safeguard their positions in view of the continually evolving situation. The interactive session will include time for your questions and hopefully answer the question of whether you can indeed stop paying rent.
