Course Overview
Most contractual disputes about distribution and agency contracts are decided by what was written, not what was intended. Ambiguity in agency contracts is resolved against the party that drafted it. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this strand of legal and contractual practice in an order their organisation can absorb. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting distribution and agency contracts and under-invest in testing it. Organisations that document this area of legal and contractual practice properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a contract template for agency contracts as they go. The programme converts distribution and agency contracts from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on agency contracts are used deliberately. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the legal and contractual practice discipline ready to put in front of a decision maker.
