On April 23, Stepan Guzey, Partner at Lidings, took part in the podcast "What Contracts Keep Silent: Real Legal Risks of Logistics in the Middle East," organized by PARI Insurance Company.
Topics discussed included:
-
Reality vs. noise — what is happening in logistics right now
-
Where businesses lose money — bank payment refusals, U.S. secondary sanctions, and hidden counterparty and supply chain toxicity
-
Logistics under pressure — route disruptions, delays, inspections, and cargo seizure risks
-
Who pays when everything breaks down? — Incoterms don't help, insurance doesn't cover everything (war risk, political risk, exclusions)
-
How to minimize risks — counterparty and supply chain due diligence, deal structuring, sanctions, force majeure, hardship clauses, dispute resolution strategies, and a basic risk management system
