Build the contract register and obligation tracker covering holding and subsidiary contracts.
Managing Constitutive Contracts for Holding and Subsidiary Companies
Move holding and subsidiary contracts from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Most contractual disputes about holding and subsidiary contracts are decided by what was written, not what was intended. The commercial risk in subsidiary contracts usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this aspect of legal and contractual practice, not around theory headings. Most organisations already have a policy on holding and subsidiary contracts; far fewer can show it working. The most reliable predictor of sound the wider legal and contractual practice agenda is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Participants who influence subsidiary contracts without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants test their assumptions about holding and subsidiary contracts against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about subsidiary contracts. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this aspect of legal and contractual practice that participants can repeat annually.
