Description

Until recently, contract provisions meant to guard against unforeseen disasters and “Acts of God” were fairly routine, and even seasoned attorneys didn’t pay them much mind. But that all changed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has sent attorneys scrambling to make sure their bases are covered in the event of the next global calamity. On this week’s episode of Pro Say, we welcome Law360’s seasoned real estate pro Andrew McIntyre to dish on “force majeure” and the new direction of post-COVID contract law. Also this week: the latest twist in a opioid crisis document dispute involving Arnold & Porter; a lawsuit claiming top universities colluded on financial aid underpayments gets the green light in federal court; and finally, a real stinker of an offbeat as a former Ohio court mediator stands accused of mailing feces to a sitting congressman.
