On 14 July 2020, the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) COVID-19 Task Force published guidance to address the contractual challenges presented by the pandemic.

This guidance consists of the following documents:

1. Guidance on future-proofing contracts;
2. Guidance on record keeping; and
3. A Summary Guide.

Andrew Croft, Senior Associate at Beale & Co is a member of the COVID-19 Task Force and helped to draft the CLC guidance. Beale & Co are again proud to have been involved in this key contribution to the industry and to assist parties in navigating the contractual issues caused by the pandemic.

Future Proofing Contracts

The objective of this future proofing guidance is to help parties accommodate the impact of COVID-19 within contracts going forward. It builds on the contractual best practice guidance, which was published on 7 May 2020 (see this note).
