Course Overview

Ambiguity in commercial contract drafting is resolved against the party that drafted it. The cost of getting the practice within legal and contractual practice wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. The course covers this part of legal and contractual practice at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. It is designed for mixed groups, so that commercial contract drafting is examined from more than one functional angle. A common pattern is strong design of this area of legal and contractual practice paired with weak follow-through. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this aspect of legal and contractual practice and prepares them for it. Participants finish able to explain commercial contract drafting to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Comparative studies of the wider legal and contractual practice agenda across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this part of legal and contractual practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
