Abstract

This research investigates the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on legal acts. This paper questions whether it is a justifiable reason for renegotiating legal transactions and investigates if current events represent an opportunity for more atypical procedural negotiations in intercompany contracts, so that, in the event that the dispute evolves to adjudication, the case would be resolved in conditions better adjusted to the essential characteristics of these types of transactions and the circumstances of the moment. This study uses the hypothetical-deductive method and divides itself into three core sections, starting with a general analysis of the effects of the pandemic as a means for negotiation, not only material, but also procedural. Furthermore, intercompany contracts and their distinctive characteristics are explored to better understand their range of transactions and the hypotheses of procedural acts pertinent to legal transactions in the current scenario.
