Against the backdrop of the corona virus, we have considered how force majeure is regarded around the world, and particularly where our clients conduct business.

We have collated precise and up-to-date information on whether in each of the following countries there is a legal definition of force majeure, whether this definition includes epidemics and/or pandemics, and how force majeure could be proven. Moreover, while similarities exist, each country has its own "nuance to a theme". 

The publication is available here. 

If you have any questions in relation to the matters raised, or other issues related to Covid-19 please feel free to contact our Corona Task Force team. Contact information is available here.
