The real estate sector has not been spared by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has raised many questions with respect to the rights and obligations of both tenants and landlords.

Over the course of this webinar, Blakes lawyers will shed light on the various ways the pandemic has affected the commercial leasing sector, including the question of lease payments during the confinement period. Topics will also include contractual adjustments that can be made in preparation for the next wave of the current pandemic and for future pandemics. In addition, our speakers will examine the health protection measures to be put in place once business activities resume, including who is responsible for these measures so as to avoid unpleasant surprises.
