What You’ll Learn

With rising costs forcing difficult decisions, many NZ businesses are renegotiating contracts and reducing headcount - but getting either wrong can lead to costly disputes and significant legal exposure.

Exiting a contract on the wrong terms, or running a redundancy process that does not meet statutory requirements, can result in breach of contract claims, personal grievances, and unexpected financial liability.

To help you manage these risks compliantly and confidently, LegalVision is hosting a free webinar on Managing Rising Costs: Safely Exiting Contracts and Reducing Headcount.

Join us on Wednesday, 1 July, at 11 am NZST, when Ruby Hollinshead (Senior Associate) and Tayler Berridge-Smith (Associate) will discuss:

terminating in accordance with the terms of a contract;
what a force majeure clause is and how it can affect your obligations;
what happens when a contract becomes impossible to perform;
managing a compliant redundancy process; and
redundancy pay obligations.
