Purchasing Management
Contract Writing: Laying the Foundation for Agreements that Work
This seminar is designed to help those involved in all stages of the contracting process understand, anticipate and manage the consequences of the process. Moreover, it addresses the tension between commercial and legal interests and suggests methods of rationalizing, if not satisfying, the objectives of both parties.
Throughout the program, you will be given opportunities to exercise your contractual interpretation and drafting skills via hands-on exercises.
You Will Discover:
- The principles of contract law that must be incorporated into all agreements
- Why prevention should be your overall objective in creating a contract
- How to protect your company's interests without killing the deal
- How to effectively and efficiently make use of forms and existing contracts
- The meanings and usage of legal terms that impact your contracts
- Why the contract for goods will differ from the contract for services
Who should attend:
Anyone who is involved in negotiating, developing, writing or managing contractual relationships, whether for goods or services. This includes those involved in purchasing, engineering, operations, maintenance, supplier management, customer service, materials management, and financial functions. Prior exposure to contract law through study or on-the-job experience would be an asset for program participants.
