Preserve the record
Emails, contracts, invoices, notices, minutes and other documents can become important evidence. Avoid deleting or altering relevant records.
Understand the contractual framework
The agreement may contain notice, cure, termination, arbitration, jurisdiction or other provisions that affect the next step.
Assess commercial impact
The legal issue should be considered alongside cash flow, customer relationships, operations and reputational considerations.
Choose the right response
Depending on the circumstances, the appropriate response may involve negotiation, a formal notice, mediation or proceedings before the appropriate forum.
