Commercial Law in the Public Sector
3 days|Delivered on request
Commercial Law in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including competition law, contract lifecycle management and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because commercial teams routinely sign obligations that legal only sees after a dispute, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with corporate governance, intellectual property and arbitration and mediation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about corporate governance without waiting for a specialist, measured against established contract law principles
- Explain intellectual property to someone who does not do the work
- Take ownership of arbitration and mediation rather than escalating it
- Spot where data protection under POPIA is failing before it becomes a finding
