    Leading international law firm Ashurst has published an insight piece that explores how Coronavirus (COVID-19) might impact the Australian real estate sector, including specific risk considerations for developers, landlords and tenants, and hotel owners and operators. With travel restrictions and lockdowns now widespread, the Australian real estate sector is looking closely at "force majeure" clauses.

    Partner, Pauline Tan commented: "COVID-19  has become a significant disruption to the real estate sector in Australia and it is now increasingly important for developers, landlords and tenants, and hotel owners and operators to assess insurance cover. We aim to ensure all our clients are prepared for further unchartered territory in the coming months."
