The law as a stabilising tool in a world under tension

April 15, 2026  | William MAK

MOSAIK at the ESSEC Business School partners’ evening at the Musée Guimet

MOSAIK was delighted to be invited by its client, ESSEC Business School, to the partners’ evening held at the Musée Guimet.

The event centred on a crucial question: is progress still possible in a world under tension?

In today’s volatile international landscape, lawyers and the law serve as essential stabilising tools, through well-established legal mechanisms:

  • anticipating the unpredictable, through carefully drafted force majeure or hardship clauses;
  • protecting value, through earn-out price adjustment clauses or representations and warranties tailored to geopolitical risks;
  • securing operations, through early termination clauses and choice of jurisdiction provisions in the event of a dispute.

These tools turn uncertainty into a controlled and secure framework, providing the stability that progress requires.
