Live Online Business and Commercial Contract Law Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 800
Poorly drafted agreements expose organizations to unpaid invoices, unlimited liability and disputes that cost far more than the deal was worth. The week revisits the essentials of formation, including offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity and intention to create legal relations, then looks at terms, misrepresentation, breach and remedies. Drafting sessions focus on structure, definitions, warranties, indemnities, limitation of liability, force majeure, termination and governing law clauses. You also cover negotiation tactics and risk allocation, contract lifecycle management, compliance monitoring and the choice between litigation, arbitration and mediation when relationships break down.
Exercises use supply, service, distribution and agency agreements, so you redline clauses, identify hidden risks and negotiate amendments in role-play. Case law and commercial examples show how courts interpret ambiguous wording and why a clear paper trail matters. Procurement officers, contract managers, in-house legal staff, company secretaries, finance managers and business owners who sign agreements regularly will gain the most practical value. You come away able to review a contract with a structured checklist, draft clearer clauses and manage obligations from signature to close-out.
