Course Overview
Ambiguity in jurisdiction clauses is resolved against the party that drafted it. Most contractual disputes about the legal and contractual practice capability are decided by what was written, not what was intended. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this strand of legal and contractual practice, in large organisations and small ones alike. A common pattern is strong design of jurisdiction clauses paired with weak follow-through. It treats the legal and contractual practice capability as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the practice within legal and contractual practice among the areas with the widest performance spread. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of jurisdiction clauses to standardise and which to leave flexible. Participants test their assumptions about this area of legal and contractual practice against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this part of legal and contractual practice rather than a set of notes.
