Course Overview

Ambiguity in government contract guarantees is resolved against the party that drafted it. Legal exposure on this aspect of legal and contractual practice accumulates through routine decisions taken without advice. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the legal and contractual practice discipline and revise it on evidence. The programme works equally well for those formalising government contract guarantees for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the legal and contractual practice capability, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It concentrates on the parts of this area of legal and contractual practice that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Ambition around government contract guarantees outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Organisations that document this strand of legal and contractual practice properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the legal and contractual practice capability rather than a set of notes.
