Build a concise contract template for standardised contract templates that colleagues can follow without further explanation.
Building Standardised Contract Templates for Organisations
A senior-level treatment of standardised contract templates, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
The cost of getting standardised contract templates wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. Ambiguity in the legal and contractual practice capability is resolved against the party that drafted it. They leave able to brief senior management on the practice within legal and contractual practice in terms that support a decision. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of standardised contract templates and prepares them for it. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the legal and contractual practice capability are used deliberately. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this aspect of legal and contractual practice so that teams can disagree productively about it. A common pattern is strong design of standardised contract templates paired with weak follow-through. Organisations that document the practice within legal and contractual practice properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of legal and contractual practice that would make a visible difference.
