COVID-19 and Technology Contracting: What is the “New Normal”? by Latham & Watkins LLP

Strategies for Customers and Vendors Navigating the Procurement Landscape Beyond COVID-19

Latham’s Data and Technology Transactions Practice discusses technology transactions and the evolving challenges brought on by disruption, digital transformation, and the use of data. 

In the first episode of the Latham Talks Tech webcast series, our London and Dubai technology lawyers discuss the unique challenges faced by contracting parties as a result of COVID-19, which has triggered an increased demand for technology solutions. Beyond immediate impacts on existing arrangements, the current circumstances have also fundamentally changed the way vendors and customers will need to approach and negotiate contracts for new IT projects. 

We look at the issues and key arguments that both customers and vendors can explore to address these challenges in their negotiations, as well as strategies for navigating the procurement landscape beyond COVID-19.
