OBA Natural Resources and Energy Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: December 9, 2020

Since March the pandemic has had an overwhelming impact on the mining industry as travel restrictions were put in place, labour came to a standstill and investments dried up. While the impacts of COVID-19 have had a resounding effect on the supply chain around the world, it has also had significant legal implications for lawyers and their clients in the industry. Join our panel of experts as they discuss the legal impact of COVID-19 on mining, from force majeure clauses and labour issues, to renegotiating financing and contract issues.
