The casualties of the sub-prime crisis have so far been confined to financial institutions and investor confidence is at an all time low despite unprecedented measures by central banks around the world injecting hefty funds to shore up financial institutions and large corporations except for Lehman Brothers. Whilst the financial crisis has not brought about widespread corporate insolvencies at this stage, it has begun to manifest in an upsurge of disputes in Main Street businesses. Many recent cases that we encounter are a direct result of a worsening credit crunch that has precipitated failures in meeting contractual obligations., Here you list some of the contentious matters that you have come across and expect to see more of in the near horizon...,,

1 Avoiding Contractual Obligations
2 Reexamining Equity Investments

Avoiding Contractual Obligations

idea posted by Rajeev Khare Corporate Lawyer
I think parties are examining their contractual terms to find a way to avoid performance of their contractual obligations. For example, we are advising a manufacturer of a particular product in an exclusive supply arrangement with a US buyer in which the US buyer has refused to accept delivery of manufactured goods on the basis of an alleged breach of a term of the contract by the manufacturer.

Thats the best way to avoid contractual obligations, but it is alot complicated and costly as it involves looking for the appropriate applicable law to prove a breach and could end up in long and expensive dispute reslotution.

Reexamining Equity Investments

idea posted by Nitesh Jain Legal Consultant
I could say investments which might appear attractive before the financial crisis are now being re-examined. We have come across venture capitalists failing to honor financial commitment to inject funds into ventures in China notwithstanding express contractual undertaking. We are also advising clients who have made an equity investment in a company but are now seeking to unravel their investment on the basis of breach of the warranty and representation clauses.
