Course Overview
A contract governing legal contract life cycle management that nobody administers is a document, not a control. The commercial risk in cycle management usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the legal and contractual practice discipline and the judgement to adapt it. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of legal contract life cycle management rather than to abstract argument. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the legal and contractual practice capability before they become incidents. Organisations that document cycle management properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The difficulty is not agreeing that legal contract life cycle management matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants who influence cycle management without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The final module sets out how progress on this area of legal and contractual practice will be evidenced six months later.
