Company Secretarial Practice: Tools and Techniques
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through legal risk assessment and cross-border contracting on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: commercial teams routinely sign obligations that legal only sees after a dispute, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with board procedure, liability and indemnity and intellectual property in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring board procedure into line with current good practice, measured against established contract law principles
- Improve liability and indemnity within their own organisation
- Take ownership of intellectual property rather than escalating it
- Put arbitration and mediation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
