LegalVision – Managing Rising Costs: Safely Exiting Contracts, Reducing Headcount and Leasing Options – VIRTUAL

May 14 @ 10:30 am - 11:15 am

With costs rising across the board, interest rates in flux, and 268,000 Australians retrenched in 2025 alone, businesses are being forced to make hard decisions about their contracts, their people, and their premises. The question isn’t whether to act, but how to do it without exposing your business to serious legal risk.

To help you navigate your options with confidence, LegalVision is hosting a free webinar on Managing Rising Costs: Safely Exiting Contracts, Reducing Headcount and Leasing Options.

Join us on Thursday, 14 May, when Emma Sheen (Senior Lawyer), Emma Bucholtz (Senior Lawyer) and Emily Fletcher (Practice Leader) will discuss:

  • terminating in accordance with the terms of a contract;
  • what a force majeure clause is and how it can affect your obligations;
  • what happens when a contract becomes impossible to perform;
  • managing a compliant redundancy process;
  • redundancy pay obligations; and
  • understanding your lease options, including how to mitigate risk.
