PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND
Understanding contract law has become an essential part of conducting our daily business functions. Whether you are in purchasing, contract management, subcontracts, project management, general management or sales, you are constantly involved with legal and contract principles, sometimes without even realizing it. Your ability to be effective and to keep your company out of costly and time-consuming legal disputes depends on your knowledge or relevant laws, but also on the ability to read and understand contracts, to manage how the documentation is prepared, and to develop such contracts effectively.
Too often the structure of the contract documents, and the actual wording used is not properly understood by those who are making decisions relating to those contracts, and non-specialists are reluctant to get involved in the process of developing the documents which are critical to their company’s success. This program is not intended to provide a full training in contract law. It is, however, intended to develop skills in the management of the structure of the terms and conditions included in contracts.
