Understanding contract law has become an essential part of conducting our daily business functions. Whether you are in purchasing, contract management, subcontracts, project management, general management or sales, you are constantly involved with legal and contract principles, sometimes without even realizing it.

Your ability to be effective and to keep your company out of costly and time-consuming legal disputes depends on your knowledge or relevant laws, but also on the ability to read and understand Contracts, and to draft or re-write such Contracts effectively.
Too often the wording used in Contracts is not properly understood by those who are making decisions relating to those Contracts, and non-specialists are reluctant to get involved in the process of drafting and amending the documents which are critical to their company’s success. There may also be problems in assessing amendments proposed by the other party, and determining whether these are reasonable, or are eroding your company’s position.

This course is not intended to provide a full training in contract law. It is, however, intended to provide insight into how Contracts are drafted and amended, and to provide delegates with hands-on experience in dealing with drafting and negotiating Contracts, and to explain the reason behind the sometimes strange language that is used. The course will deal with Contracts written in the English language, and follow principles widely used in international contracting.

Objective
  • Provide an understanding of contract structures, and how and why contracts are drafted in particular ways
  • Enhance understanding of the legal principles behind contracts

  • Provide strategies and tactics for negotiating on possible contract amendments
  • Explain how to use contract provisions to reduce the risk of disputes.
  • Provide methods of reviewing the contract to avoid any misinterpretation and assure the existence of balanced terms and conditions
