Corporate Partner Eric Kuhn Addresses Italian Companies About Managing Payment Disputes with U.S. Customers and Distributors

As a consequence of the global economic slowdown from COVID-19, purchasers of goods from Italian and other non-U.S. suppliers are increasingly failing to meet their payment obligations.  Against this background, Eric Kuhn, who regularly advises Italian and other European companies on their U.S. activities, participated in an Italian-language virtual roundtable on debt recovery, organized by the Treviso-Belluno Chamber of Commerce.  More than 60 Italian companies and advisors attended, as well as other panelists from France, Spain, Germany and China.  The panel discussed best practices in structuring the supply relationship and related contracts, as well as managing disputes that may arise.
