Course Overview

The commercial risk in government contract execution usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. Ambiguity in the practice within legal and contractual practice is resolved against the party that drafted it. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this aspect of legal and contractual practice, ready to be adapted internally. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in government contract execution that were visible long before the incident. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the practice within legal and contractual practice and supervised application. The content is relevant to those who own this area of legal and contractual practice and to those who are held accountable for its results. The programme is built to be used, and every section of government contract execution it covers ends in something applicable. Improvement in the legal and contractual practice discipline stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the wider legal and contractual practice agenda survives a hostile question.
