Contract Terms and Conditions - The Law
Learn about English law and how to negotiate T&Cs successfully.
A 5-day course
English Law is often chosen by organisations operating internationally as the preferred Law for their contracts, and yet many people feel uncomfortable as they possess insufficient depth of knowledge to really understand what's going on. Contracting & Procurement staff, sales people and their legal advisors all need a good knowledge of the law in order to have a solid base on which to negotiate binding contracts, resolve disputes and enforce terms. This 3-day course is designed for people such as these.
The course is designed to allow participants to:
1. Gain knowledge and understanding
2. Apply their knowledge' to business T&Cs to see what's really happening
3. Use more complicated T&Cs
By the end of the course, participants will be able to;
- read and understand complicated T&Cs
