Join ACC Chicago and Taft Law to find out what “Force Majeure” and “uninhabitable” means during COVID-19. Our presenters will cover the topic of force majeure provisions in commercial contracts, the “test” for whether force majeure can be invoked, and steps that parties may take to safeguard their positions in view of the continually evolving situation. The interactive session will include time for your questions and hopefully answer the question of whether you can indeed stop paying rent.

As we sit behind computer screens at our kitchen tables and in our home offices, debates about the future of offices are a leading lockdown sport. Surveys show roughly a third of us can't wait to get back in the office, a third of us never want to see an office again, and the rest of us are up to our elbows in banana bread. In this webinar, Eversheds Sutherland Real Estate Partners Marc Benjamin (Chicago), Bruce Dear (London), and Clare Whitaker (Cambridge) will be joined by Bethany Bonner, Principal and GC/CAO at Zeller, to discuss the future of the workplace and answer questions such as:

  •     How do we embrace the recent monumental tech changes while retaining the best aspects of pre-COVID operations?
  •     What trends are happening in Europe and Asia as they return to work and re-enter offices ahead of the US?
  •     How can tenants approach flexibility in leases?
  •     Is a "blended office" the best solution?
  •     What role does culture play in your organization and how is that maintained by a physical office space?
