Tariffs (and threats of tariffs) have been keeping business leaders up at night across Canada and the United States since the inauguration of President Trump. The price of goods ratcheting up significantly, or those goods not being available at all, could be the difference between a good or bad deal in many cases. Join our conversation on force majeure clauses and other key terms in business contracts in the current environment.

Our speakers reference a slide throughout this session that discusses the anatomy of a force majeure clause. If you would like to read the slide itself, it is available for download: https://www.torys.com/FMClausePDF
