Price Adjustment Clauses in Volatile Times: Legally passing on cost increases – but how? | Heike Remus-Kaiser

The Corona pandemic and the war in Ukraine marked the beginning of a new era of volatile markets. Persistent raw material shortages, fluctuating energy prices, and climate-related supply chain disruptions make price adjustments a constant issue. Companies face the urgent question: How can increased energy, raw material, and material costs be legally passed on to buyers, customers, and business partners?

Although this topic has become a permanent issue in practice, jurisprudence places strict demands on the effectiveness of price adjustment clauses, which are often difficult to implement in practice. Against this background, we would like to shed light on the following topics in our webinar.

• Price Adjustment Clauses in GTCs and Framework Agreements: Strict Validity Requirements
• B2B vs. B2C
• Common Pitfalls in Practice
• Best Practices and Alternatives

• Current fine cases by antitrust authorities, e.g., on price fixing and territorial restrictions
• Practical Challenges with Common Distribution Systems

Managing directors must address the topic of compliance. Effective compliance management stands or falls with the correct risk assessment.

A risk relevance analysis can form the foundation of an effective compliance management system: It helps to specifically identify and evaluate risks across a broad spectrum of legal areas. This way, blind spots can be avoided. Our webinar provides you with practical insights on how to specifically optimize your risk management by applying a risk relevance analysis.

ESG Residual Value Model in German Property and Accounting Law | Harald Reitze

For a climate-neutral future and the achievement of the 1.5° target in particular, a far-reaching approach in the real estate sector is required. The idea of “circular construction” is a key starting point for this. Particularly interesting in terms of sustainability is the trading of building components during their lifespan, the realization of which, however, is not immediately tangible under the conditions of German law.
