Fundamentals of Company Secretarial Practice

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

Fundamentals of Company Secretarial Practice is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through service level agreements and board procedure without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because contract value leaks quietly through weak administration rather than through litigation, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with arbitration and mediation, cross-border contracting and contract lifecycle management in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Improve arbitration and mediation within their own organisation, measured against POPIA
Bring cross-border contracting into line with current good practice
Spot where contract lifecycle management is failing before it becomes a finding
Take ownership of commercial law fundamentals rather than escalating it
