Contract Drafting for Non-Specialists

Legal, Contracts and Governance|2 days|Classroom or live online

Contract Drafting for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through commercial law fundamentals and company secretarial practice without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because regulators have moved from guidance to enforcement across several sectors, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with contract interpretation, service level agreements and intellectual property in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Bring contract interpretation into line with current good practice, measured against established contract law principles
Make a decision about service level agreements without waiting for a specialist
Explain intellectual property to someone who does not do the work
