Drafting, Exercising, and Challenging Termination Rights
Termination provisions represent some of the most commercially sensitive and legally risky moments in a contractual relationship. When termination goes wrong, the consequences can be severe - ranging from loss of contractual rights to claims for repudiatory breach, substantial damages, and protracted litigation.
This practical webinar is designed for lawyers advising on the drafting, interpretation, and exercise of termination rights in commercial contracts. It focuses on the critical distinction between common law termination rights and contractual termination provisions, and why misunderstanding that distinction can expose clients to significant and unnecessary risk.
Using real-world scenarios and applied examples, the session explores termination for convenience, termination for cause, material breach, notice requirements, and the circumstances in which common law termination rights can be excluded. Attendees will gain clear, actionable guidance they can apply immediately when drafting contracts or advising clients on whether and how to terminate.
