This seminar is aimed at project and account managers who are not legally qualified but who have regular interaction with customers, suppliers and third party partners in executing their daily project/account management responsibilities.

Recognise potential dangers, problems and pitfalls in doing deals. Explain some terminology and what they really mean. Navigate your way around a contract and its documentation. Identify where, in a deal lifecycle, a contract is made. Commercial risk : how to identify, mitigate and manage it. Are there commercial/legal questions that you have always wondered about? Ask them in this interactive seminar. We will use past experience, case law and real examples to illustrate the principles that will be covered.
