Course Overview

The cost of getting appeals and challenges wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. The commercial risk in this area of legal and contractual practice usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. They leave able to brief senior management on the legal and contractual practice capability in terms that support a decision. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of appeals and challenges and prepares them for it. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this area of legal and contractual practice. Mature organisations treat the legal and contractual practice discipline as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The course gives participants a defensible structure for appeals and challenges and the judgement to adapt it. A common pattern is strong design of the legal and contractual practice capability paired with weak follow-through. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the wider legal and contractual practice agenda broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
