“How to deal with price increases and performance issues in challenging times?”

“Our supplier says prices must increase because of the conflict in the Middle East - can they just do that?”
“We cannot continue performing at these cost levels - what options do we have?”
“Is this force majeure? Hardship? Or something else entirely?”
 
These are no longer abstract questions.
They are being asked every day, across virtually all sectors.
 
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is driving costs up. Supply chains are disrupted. Pricing clauses drafted in more stable times are under strain. As a result, commercial contracts are being re‑examined, facing intense pressure to be renegotiated, or are being challenged by both suppliers and customers.
 
In this flash webinar, Jo Willems and Nik Vanheer of Lydian’s Commercial & Litigation team address the most frequently asked questions and practical challenges businesses are facing as price pressure intensifies due to the growing geopolitical instability.
 
Through a practical, experience‑driven session, we aim to offer early guidance on how businesses can respond to pricing pressure and make informed decisions in today’s uncertain economic climate. Topics include, among others:
 
🔹The legal levers that may - or may not - allow price increases
🔹The role, scope and limits of hardship and force majeure
🔹Practical do’s and don’ts when facing price increase requests
 
We look forward to welcoming you.
