Course Overview
A contract governing pre-litigation settlement that nobody administers is a document, not a control. Ambiguity in this part of legal and contractual practice is resolved against the party that drafted it. Where this area of legal and contractual practice is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting pre-litigation settlement, ready to be adapted internally. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the legal and contractual practice discipline, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The level assumes working familiarity with the contract portfolio but no prior formal training in this aspect of legal and contractual practice. It treats pre-litigation settlement as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Ambition around the legal and contractual practice discipline outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this aspect of legal and contractual practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
