Course Overview

The commercial risk in international sale of goods contracts usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. Most contractual disputes about goods contracts are decided by what was written, not what was intended. Plans for this part of legal and contractual practice often fail at the handover point between functions. They acquire practical criteria for judging when international sale of goods contracts is working and when it is only appearing to. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this aspect of legal and contractual practice improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The course gives participants a defensible structure for goods contracts and the judgement to adapt it. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of international sale of goods contracts and supervised application. The content is relevant to those who own goods contracts and to those who are held accountable for its results. The final session converts the week's work on the practice within legal and contractual practice into commitments with owners and dates.
