Since 2020, supply chains across the globe have faced historic challenges.  

At the outset, shortages of medical materials – including personal protective equipment, hospital beds, and therapeutic medical supplies -- were widespread.  

Human resources, particularly health care workers, were strained by workload, family obligations, isolation, sickness, and loss.  

Then came noticeable effects on manufacturing and consumer goods, including food, books, lumber, microchips, shipping containers, with each scarcity seeming more problematic than the last.

Pandemic-related lockdowns and implementation of safety measures halted or slowed production.  

Transportation bottlenecks further upset the stream of goods and exposed flaws in management of—and a general lack of resilience in—transportation infrastructure.  

Natural disasters, civil unrest, trade wars, sanctions, and labor shortages created additional operational and logistics hurdles.

Much of this, of course, has been well-documented.

There is, however, one potential fallout from the crunch not yet widely acknowledged or grappled with: The many disruptions to the flow of goods may well increase litigation as companies try to deflect resulting costs onto others and may prove to be a boon to your law practice.  

Retailers accusing manufacturers of inflating prices and reducing or canceling stock amid volatile swings in consumer demand, manufacturers forcing suppliers to cover minor warranty claims, and distressed companies becoming available for acquisition or selling off assets to satisfy lenders are just a few examples of situations likely to stimulate commercial litigation.
