The global landscape is constantly shifting, and recent events have highlighted the vulnerabilities within supply chains. Businesses across Canada are facing unprecedented supply chain challenges, from material shortages to logistical bottlenecks. At Caravel, we understand that these times require more than just legal expertise; they demand a collaborative approach. We’re here to be your partner, helping you navigate these uncertainties and build resilience. 

Understanding Supply Chain Challenges 

Supply chain disruptions can manifest in numerous ways, impacting everything from production to delivery. Common challenges include:   

• Material shortages: Delays or unavailability of essential materials. 

• Logistical bottlenecks: Transportation delays, port congestion, and shipping disruptions. 

• Increased costs: Rising prices for raw materials, transportation, and labor. 

• Contractual disputes: Disagreements arising from delays, non-performance, or force majeure events. 

• International trade complexities: Changes in tariffs, regulations, and customs procedures. 

Our Partnership Approach

We understand that these challenges are new for many, and we’re here to offer support and guidance, not just legal jargon. Here’s how we can partner with you: 
 

• Contract Review and Force Majeure Clauses: We can help you review existing contracts to understand your rights and obligations in the event of disruptions. We’ll also assist in drafting clear and effective force majeure clauses for future agreements. This is not about finding blame, it’s about finding clarity.

• Proactive Risk Management: We’ll help you identify potential risks and develop proactive strategies to mitigate their impact. This includes reviewing your supply chain processes, identifying vulnerabilities, and developing contingency plans.
