Drafting Commercial Contracts (London, United Kingdom - October 30th-31st, 2017)

Dublin, Oct. 02, 2017 -- The "Drafting Commercial Contracts" conference has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Draft clear and concise commercial agreements that meet the challenges of today's commercial environment

All legal disputes are founded in the interpretation of written contracts; they are one of the largest causes of costly commercial litigation. Clarity and fair constructions are the key to a successful commercial agreement, and quick and reasonable dispute resolution, if dispute should arise.

With this in mind the event organisers have developed a comprehensive two-part programme which focuses on delivering practical and applied training of the key drafting skills needed to create transparent and direct contracts that deliver on a legal and commercial level.

Part I: Drafting Commercial Contracts focuses on developing a robust structure and formation to your contracts and expanding your drafting skills to deliver concise and watertight agreements.

Part II: Drafting Legal Clauses looks in more detail at the more complex clauses and how they can be drafted and applied to leverage commercial value and manage legal risk.

Why you should attend

• Examine assignment and novation to ensure you are suitably protected in the case of transfer or sale of rights
