Oderah Nwaeze presented on “Reconciling Contract Terms During COVID” in a panel on “Hot Topics in Litigation” — which included contributions from Shahira Ali, director and associate GC of Workday; Lori Baggett, VP and associate GC of PODS; and Chris Bellamy, senior counsel of Peabody Energy — at the National Bar Association Commercial Law Section's 35th Annual Corporate Counsel Conference.

As courts have slowly opened their doors to in-person practice, a significant uptick in post-pandemic litigation activity can be seen across the country. Oderah and the panel explored a wide range of topics, including multidistrict litigation, force majeure clauses, bankruptcy, contract disputes and the latest trends in litigation from state and federal court opinions throughout the country. How can you mitigate risk and exposure due to global and global supply-chain issues? What tips and tricks can you deploy to reduce the overall value of a multiplaintiff case?
