Lessons from Lockdown - Legal and Insurance Issues

Event Information

Join us for our weekly Corona Virus Support Webinars with Leigh Sear and Meryl Levington from the Building Business Resilience Project working across the East Midlands.

This is a virtual lunchbreak and the chance to learn about protecting and supporting your business during the COVD 19 Crisis and the various government schemes and initiatives that are available to small businesses and their employees.

This week Meryl and Leigh will be joined by Neil Warwick OBE, Partner in DAC Beachcroft from their commercial team who specialises in EU and Competition law and is the National Chair for International Trade with the FSB. DAC Beachcroft specialise in insurance and Neil advises many national and regional government bodies as well as working in the private sector. He is the legal expert on the Business Resilience Team.

We will be looking at some of the issues around the law and insurance which may have impacted on your business during this crisis, and also how things may change moving forward. We are already seeing conflicts between what government departments are advising and what the law states, so we will be looking at how to navigate this as a business, and looking at what insurances and protections businesses may want to consider in the future.

We will also be looking at how to manage remote workers and ensure they have the support and equipment they need to work from home. We will also touch on how business owners can protect themselves from legal challenges from customers, suppliers and staff by carefully checking contracts, agreements and terms and conditions.

We are also keen to hear about your experiences and what challenges you may be facing or bringing. The webinar will run through Zoom so you will need to download the app on a phone or tablet or watch through a PC with a camera speaker/or headphones a mic Hope you can join us for a virtual lunch - and feel free to listen in with your actual lunch.
