As we continue to connect and engage with our clients to help them navigate the current and evolving reality of COVID-19, McCarthy Tétrault is pleased to launch our first podcast on Spotify, Law in the Time of COVID-19.

Hosted by associate Adam Goldenberg, this podcast cuts through the information overload to drive conversations around COVID-19. Listeners will receive regular updates, industry insights and legal perspectives, helping to keep them informed and prepared to address the global business implications of the virus.

In Episode 1: Inside the Cabinet Room, Adam is joined by the McCarthy Tétrault Strategic Advisory Group. Together, Jean Charest, Wayne Wouters, and Paul Zed discuss how governments are (or aren’t) using their emergency powers to confront COVID-19 and how businesses should work with government for economic support. Tune in to the conversation and hear what this could mean for your business.

On Episode 2: Acts of God, Adam speaks to Brandon Kain and Meghan S. Bridges about the risks and benefits of using force majeure or "act of God" clauses in commercial agreements. What happens when COVID-19 makes it impractical or impossible for businesses to fulfill their contractual obligations? How will contract law shape COVID-19's impact on the supply chain as the economy slows down? Join the conversation and learn what considerations businesses and individuals should keep in mind.

McCarthy Tétrault is committed to delivering valuable and timely resources to help clients during this time. In addition to Law in the Time of COVID-19, we offer daily updates on critical news and developments through our dedicated COVID-19 Hub.
