International Contracts

The terms and conditions of contracts are the lifeblood of international trade and commerce. For those who are concentrating on “doing the deal”, most commonly the “t’s & c’s” are left to the lawyers or the legal department. But very often there is miscommunication between technical and legal – both departments speak “different languages”!! What is encapsulated in the contract is not what the technical people had envisaged. On these courses, you will be taken step-by-step through the main clauses that are found in international contracts and will have them carefully explained using real life examples. At the end of the course you should be able to understand the principal clauses and make use of this information at the tendering and contract formation stages, and in the event of disputes.

  • Force Majeure Masterclass

    “Force Majeure.” Many people have heard of it as a legal concept but how many people understand it?
