Andrew Grech has recently represented David Zahra & Associates at the AIJA (International Association of Young Lawyers) seminar held in Malta, titled ‘Setting Sails in Turbulent Times’.
The seminar, which was jointly organised by the Transport and Business Law Commissions and was held at the University of Malta’s Valletta Campus, aptly tackled the contemporary challenges faced by the transport and commerce sectors. Speakers analysed the legal developments which have affected supply chains in Europe and beyond, the digitalisation of the transport sector and the consequent threats this has brought about, as well as sustainable financing in the transport industry. An insightful panel discussion also tackled the issue of force majeure in the context of the enforcement of contracts.
Besides enhancing the firm’s knowledge in relation to such topics, the seminar provided a good opportunity to meet up with other transport and business lawyers from around the globe.
