Contract Skills

Commercial contracts are the backbone of every business, but they can appear to have a language of their own which can be difficult to understand, and therefore apply as the contract writers intended. There are many pitfalls and risks associated with not interpreting and executing contracts in the correct way.

This suite of courses provides all the essential information that every non-lawyer dealing with contracts needs to know, aswell as providing the commercial skills linked to successful and efficient contract administration.
