Seminar on Drafting Commercial Contracts

March 11, 2011 - PRLog -- WHAT IS IT ABOUT
Managers and business owners are increasingly involved in the task of negotiating and signing contracts. A lack of basic skill has tangible consequences, including excessive costs, delays and unacceptable risks. Our seminar promises to be very popular, as it specifically focuses on the needs of business people dealing with contracts. It is a fast, effective and clear way to obtain the skills and confidence to understand commercial contracts.
The course is about helping those without formal legal training, who have to deal with legal documents, specifically commercial contracts, understand better what they are looking at. The aim is to allow you to get to grips with what your legal documents more quickly and effectively.              

WHAT WILL YOU GET OUT OF IT

•   Save legal costs, by working more efficiently   with your legal advisers, cutting the time your legal advisers need to spend.
•   Minimise negotiation deadlocks.
•   Ensure the contract meets your needs.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND THIS SEMINAR
Do you wish to take your drafting skills to the next level? Attend our new practical seminar on drafting commercial contracts, to increase your knowledge and practice drafting skills, with an experienced practitioner.
This intensive programme has been designed to give you practical guidance on the drafting and use of the “legal” clauses in commercial contracts. The rights and liabilities created as a result of warranties and indemnities can create complex legal problems for contracting parties and third parties. In the first part of this session we will examine these critical issues and ways, in which liability can be limited or excluded. In the second part, we will focus on the effective use of boilerplate provisions, their legal background and how they should be used and drafted.
