Course Overview

The cost of getting governing law clauses wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. A contract governing the practice within legal and contractual practice that nobody administers is a document, not a control. The version of this part of legal and contractual practice described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in governing law clauses before they become incidents. Participants apply this aspect of legal and contractual practice to their own contract portfolio throughout, so the output is directly usable. The content is relevant to those who own the legal and contractual practice capability and to those who are held accountable for its results. It establishes a shared vocabulary for governing law clauses so that teams can disagree productively about it. Where this strand of legal and contractual practice is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Participants leave with a plan for the wider legal and contractual practice agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
