The Corona crisis presents entrepreneurs with legal challenges around contracts and obligations. Good Law offers practical help, tailored advice and support at a reduced rate.

The corona crisis has completely changed the playing field for contracting parties. Compliance with agreements often becomes difficult or even impossible, and this leads to new legal issues. Good Law is ready to help entrepreneurs with practical solutions and understanding of their rights, especially in these challenging times.

New challenges for contracting parties

The crisis brings situations not foreseen in contracts. Can an obligation be suspended? Does the situation fall under force majeure or unforeseen circumstances? And how do you proceed with a contract partner if full performance is no longer possible? Good Law helps you find reasonable and legally viable solutions.

Legal help for non-performance

When failing to perform a contract, it is crucial to understand what is reasonable and fair within the specific circumstances. We can support you in:

  1. Renegotiating contracts;
  2. Determine what constitutes force majeure;
  3. Finding solutions to mutual obligations.
  4. Dissolution and payment obligations

Do you have the right to terminate a (duration) contract? When is suspension of a payment justified? Good Law helps you understand your rights and obligations so that you can act with confidence.

Damages and personal liability

We analyse whether there is a right to damages and under what circumstances a director can be held personally liable. The first Corona rulings show that not every reference to the crisis is sufficient to justify non-performance.

Specific expertise for the Netherlands Antilles

In addition to expertise in Dutch law, we specialise in contract law for Curaçao, Aruba and St Maarten. We know the specific legal and business context of the Netherlands Antilles and adapt our approach accordingly.

Practical support at reduced rates

We believe in cooperation and creativity during this crisis. That is why we offer legal services at a reduced hourly rate, so that entrepreneurs can still get the support they need during difficult times.

Contact us without obligation to discuss how we can help you. Together, we will find new ways when familiar paths are closed.
