Businesses throughout California are suffering the crippling economic consequences triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking for relief, many have been stymied by force majeure (so-called “Act of God”) clauses. Our speakers will discuss how to determine if you have a legitimate claim, and explore critical questions about force majeure in California, including:
- What is a force majeure?
- What constitutes force majeure in California?
- How to determine when to assert force majeure?
- Does force majeure trigger business interruption insurance?
- What are the practical considerations for addressing force majeure in the
COVID-19 Pandemic?
