One unexpected crisis can destroy a business contract worth millions of Naira.
Flood, Government shutdown, riot, fire, pandemic, economic collapse or scarcity can make performance impossible and leave businesses exposed.
Do not sign a contract without a proper Force Majeure clause.
A Force Majeure clause is a legal protection in contracts that covers parties from liability when events beyond their control prevent them from fulfilling their duties. It helps protect a business when disaster strikes unexpectedly.
Many Nigerians discovered the need for this clause during the COVID-19 lockdown. Businesses shut down, projects stopped, supplies gone and contracts collapsed.
Yet many companies still faced legal threats because their agreements failed to address unforeseen emergencies.
Every serious business agreement/contract should be prepared by a Business/Corporate Lawyer so as not to expose you to claims for breach, loss of money and endless litigation.
Developers, landlords, contractors and property investors must ensure their Agreements address delays, Government actions, economic disruptions and other unexpected events that can affect performance.
Do not invest without legal protection, only to discover later that the agreement cannot protect your interests during emergencies.
