Course Overview
The cost of getting data processing agreements wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. The commercial risk in this strand of legal and contractual practice usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. It is written for people who have to make the practice within legal and contractual practice work with the resources they already have. The programme takes participants through data processing agreements end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this part of legal and contractual practice, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Improvement in the legal and contractual practice capability stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of data processing agreements to standardise and which to leave flexible. Comparative studies of the practice within legal and contractual practice across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The final session converts the week's work on this aspect of legal and contractual practice into commitments with owners and dates.
