Introduction:

With the increasing number of cross-border transactions, drafting and negotiating precise commercial agreements plays a vital role in achieving successful international business results. Today, most international agreements are drafted in the English language irrespective of the nationality of contracting parties.  This practical two-day seminar focuses on business contracts - what they are and how to put them in place.

Besides, it is obvious that disputes about the interpretation of written contracts are one of the largest sources of commercial litigation. Clarity and fair construction is the key to successful business contracts.

If you are involved in drafting commercial contracting or dealing with contracts at any level, you need to grasp the practical legal implications of the contractual relationships to ensure you do not expose your organization or your client to unnecessary risk.

This seminar is designed to offer a comprehensive and practical introduction to business contracts. After two days, attendees will have gained the necessary knowledge to enable them to recognize and deal confidently with the risks and benefits of commercial contracts.
