Practical Construction Contracts
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through commercial law fundamentals and contract interpretation on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: regulators have moved from guidance to enforcement across several sectors, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with service level agreements, dispute resolution and board procedure in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about service level agreements without waiting for a specialist, measured against established contract law principles
- Review dispute resolution and say plainly whether it is working
- Spot where board procedure is failing before it becomes a finding
- Explain cross-border contracting to someone who does not do the work
