OVERVIEW
Laws and regulations governing general business and contracts are becoming increasingly complex. If you sign-off, approve, and/or are involved in commercial negotiations, at any level, you need to understand the fundamentals of contract law and contract management - not only to protect your organisation’s interests but to ensure your organisation is not exposed to unnecessary risk and liability.
The Contract Law, Management & Risk Fundamentals Masterclass is a one-day practical masterclass for managers and directors from all sized organisations on the essential elements of Australian contract law and managing the contract lifecycle and covers drafting, negotiating, administration and enforcement of commercial contracts and contract law.
For just one day out of the office, you will learn how to avoid the risk of negotiating and drafting unenforceable contracts, lower the risk of unforeseen contractual obligations and learn how to ‘get tough’ when enforcing contracts and appropriate remedies in the event of a contractual breach. Most importantly, learn to do this without seeking a lawyer’s advice, and quicker – freeing up your time to make better business decisions and save money on ongoing legal fees.
The course provides tips for understanding contractual material and looks at the traps, pitfalls and risks of contracting, negotiating, drafting and managing contracts – essential knowledge for all managers who sign-off and manage medium and large-sized contracts.
