Course Overview

A contract governing investment arbitration that nobody administers is a document, not a control. Legal exposure on the practice within legal and contractual practice accumulates through routine decisions taken without advice. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the legal and contractual practice discipline it covers ends in something applicable. They leave able to brief senior management on investment arbitration in terms that support a decision. Progress on this strand of legal and contractual practice is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Organisations that document the legal and contractual practice capability properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about investment arbitration in their own setting. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the practice within legal and contractual practice. The final session converts the week's work on the legal and contractual practice discipline into commitments with owners and dates.
