Identify the clauses in multi-jurisdictional contracts that determine outcome when performance fails.
Managing Multi-Jurisdictional Contracts
Practical training in multi-jurisdictional contracts, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
The cost of getting multi-jurisdictional contracts wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. Ambiguity in the wider legal and contractual practice agenda is resolved against the party that drafted it. It is written for people who have to make this aspect of legal and contractual practice work with the resources they already have. Where multi-jurisdictional contracts is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Every module pairs a short input on this area of legal and contractual practice with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this part of legal and contractual practice it covers ends in something applicable. Progress on multi-jurisdictional contracts is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this aspect of legal and contractual practice in an order their organisation can absorb. The final session converts the week's work on this area of legal and contractual practice into commitments with owners and dates.
