Baker McKenzie launches Clause Café London Podcast

By , , , , and 2 Mins Read

We are delighted to introduce our new podcast, Clause Café London, led by counsel and associates in our London Dispute Resolution team.

The series is aimed at addressing real life problems faced by practising lawyers in contract administration and management. We will cover interesting clauses and issues arising in this context. In doing so, we will discuss war stories, share best practice experiences, and cover legal principles. The podcast follows the Clause Café webinar series led by our colleagues in our Paris office.

In our first episode, Rich Molesworth, Katia Contos and Lauren Owide discuss representations and warranties, a heavily negotiated area in transactions. This episode covers some key issues to be aware of in relation to notice requirements, fraudulent misrepresentation claims (including a discussion around whether the warranties themselves can be relied upon as representations) and a buyer’s knowledge or awareness of an issue, which can give rise to a defence against a claim by the buyer, pointing out practical tips to be alive to for these issues when drafting transactional documents.
