Business Disruption Strategies

There is no “business as usual” in today’s business environment. This is a time of uncertainty and turmoil in the capital markets, supply chains, service industries, retail and e-commerce industry, health industry, and travel industry. Leaders and entrepreneurs find themselves trying to understand how to interpret contract terms in light of these changing circumstances, and how to determine their rights, obligations, and remedies.

Our firm has experience not only with issues unique to early-stage, start-up businesses and their founders, but also with the multiple, complex challenges that large, established companies face with their workforce, bankers, vendors, suppliers, customers, brand, and reputation.

Our extensive experience analyzing, interpreting, drafting, enforcing, and negotiating solutions within the context of commercial and real estate contracts translates to the efficient and effective guidance clients need to stay in front of all the changes. This includes containing and minimizing the effects of COVID-19 on families, companies, employees, business associates, customers, suppliers, and lenders.
