Intellectual Property for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Intellectual Property for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through board procedure and employment law without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because commercial teams routinely sign obligations that legal only sees after a dispute, 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 lifecycle management, cross-border contracting and legal risk assessment in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where contract lifecycle management is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the Companies Act
- Take ownership of cross-border contracting rather than escalating it
- Make a decision about legal risk assessment without waiting for a specialist
- Review commercial law fundamentals and say plainly whether it is working
