The COVID-19 health crisis has highlighted just how vital Personal
Protective Equipment ("PPE") is for healthcare
workers and citizens during a pandemic. Due to skyrocketing demand
in recent months, shortages of PPE have led to a mini-boom industry
for suppliers and buyers alike. Despite the growth in this sector,
PPE commercial transactions do involve significant
risk and, consequently, many complex legal issues need to be
directly addressed in a PPE contract.
Given the increase in PPE transactions, and the associated legal
exposure involved for the contracting parties, it is extremely
important to retain attorneys who have experience in guiding
clients through the various stages of drafting and negotiation of
PPE contracts.
