ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
In context of trade, seamless supply chains and dependence on international
resources, world is becoming one single market. Even though because of internet
and widespread access to legal resources, business managers tend to share the
common legal principles, but unfortunately, the legal framework and national
laws of different countries still maintain a certain degree of uniqueness and
protectionism. Thus, the success of an international contract will depend on the
'know how' in identifying the differences in legal regimes, diversity of
legislature, scoping, contract drafting, negotiation and execution competencies
in each context. It is getting not only important but crucial to consider risks
from remote and unforeseen events, sanctions, and proxy wars. As a contract gets
bigger in monetary value and wider in scope, more attention is needed in
drafting and interpreting terms and conditions of any contract before signing on
the last page or accepting it online.
This 2 full-day course endeavours to enable the participants gain an
understanding of the essential ingredients of contracts and mastering the
international contracting principles. This course will equip participants to
identify vague and ambiguous clauses, avoid dangerous and often hidden terms,
and better understand the controlling position in a project. The participants
will learn from the Case Law Reports and analysis to take home lessons learned
from bitter experiences of peers in the industry. It is designed to help those
who need a solution to manage current contractual issues or those who execute
international contracts regularly and want to be more proficient in managing
their contracts and projects, with changing contexts.
