Build the contract register and obligation tracker covering government contract termination.
Legally Managing the Rescission and Termination of Government Contracts
Build a working method for government contract termination that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Ambiguity in government contract termination is resolved against the party that drafted it. The commercial risk in the legal and contractual practice discipline usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the practice within legal and contractual practice are used deliberately. It concentrates on the parts of government contract termination that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this area of legal and contractual practice under scrutiny. Applied research in legal and contractual practice consistently shows that early structure around the legal and contractual practice capability reduces downstream rework. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of government contract termination and prepares them for it. Most organisations already have a policy on the wider legal and contractual practice agenda; far fewer can show it working. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this strand of legal and contractual practice that would make a visible difference.
