Whether working in-house or in private practice, lawyers involved in contractual negotiations operate at the verge of commerce, law and strategy. A lawyer’s ability to allocate and limit contractual risk is one of the most important and commercially sensitive skills in practice. When done well, it creates confidence and trust – with the client, with the parties to the negotiation, and with your own firm or organisation. When done poorly, it can generate friction and ambiguity, diminishing the client’s trust and risking litigation.
This online course will help you to go beyond basic clause-spotting and grasp how risk is to be structured, priced and communicated, ensuring the best possible service is provided for clients and your legal compliance obligations are met.
Through easy-to-understand chapters, this course will use recent English case law, interactive examples, and reflection exercises to help you hone the skills necessary to navigate complex negotiations and draft durable contracts.
