Standardise recurring terms on supply chain legal risk while preserving necessary flexibility.
Managing Legal Risk in Supply Chains
A working programme in supply chain legal risk for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Most contractual disputes about supply chain legal risk are decided by what was written, not what was intended. A contract governing legal risk that nobody administers is a document, not a control. This programme builds the wider legal and contractual practice agenda from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Participants finish able to explain supply chain legal risk to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The difficulty is not agreeing that this area of legal and contractual practice matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Organisations that document legal risk properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from supply chain legal risk, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It is written for people who have to make legal risk work with the resources they already have. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of legal and contractual practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
