Supply Chain Disruption:
What Nordic Companies in the UAE Need to Know

You are invited to a webinar hosted by our corporate member DLA Piper, in collaboration with the Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian Business Council. This session will explore the legal concept of force majeure under both English and UAE law, and its practical implications for companies operating in the region.

In today’s environment of geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing supply chain disruptions, understanding contractual risk and legal protections has become increasingly important. Force majeure clauses are often relied upon in times of disruption—but their application can vary significantly depending on jurisdiction and contract structure.

This session will provide practical, business-focused insights into:

• The legal framework of force majeure under English and UAE law, including key differences

• When and how force majeure can be invoked, and what alternatives may be available

• Practical guidance supported by real-world examples and scenarios

The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A, giving participants the opportunity to raise specific questions and discuss relevant challenges.
