ON-DEMAND
In partnership with iDiscovery Solutions

Speaker:
Kenneth Gustafson, CFA, Managing Director, Economics, iDiscovery Solutions

A contract does more than define legal obligations. It also allocates economic risk and value between the parties. Pricing formulas, volume commitments, benchmarks, termination rights, force majeure provisions, and other contract terms can produce very different financial outcomes as market conditions, operating performance, and external events change.

In this webinar, Kenneth Gustafson, CFA, Managing Director of Economics at iDS, explores the economics embedded within commercial contracts and how legal teams can identify, evaluate, and quantify the financial consequences of contractual provisions.

Through practical examples and scenario analysis, attendees will see how contract terms interact with market conditions, operational decisions, and external events, and how those interactions can shift value and risk between the parties, both during contract review and when disputes arise.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Identify contract provisions that may create economic exposure not immediately apparent from the legal language.
• Evaluate how pricing formulas, benchmarks, volume obligations, and contingencies allocate financial risk.
• Understand how changing market conditions can alter the economics of the same contract.
• Stress-test key contract provisions across different pricing and market scenarios.
• Connect contractual terms to actual and counterfactual cash flows when evaluating potential disputes and damages.
• Identify the data and records needed to reconstruct contract economics, evaluate mitigation, and quantify financial exposure.
