Synopsis

Have you ever wondered what a particular contract clause or term actually means? Why are certain clauses so commonly found in some commercial or business contracts? Being unsure on the meaning and interpretation of a contractual term or provision is too risky for your business and work. Poorly drafted contracts do not provide protection and may lead to contractual disputes and litigation, arbitration or mediation later on.

This 1-day workshop seminar provides the participant with the practical guide on the meaning and purpose as well as interpretation of contractual terms and clauses and their possible variations.

This course will not only highlight the pitfalls, but participants will also be given an analysis of sample agreements to address the common issues arising in commercial contracts together with standard form precedents and the interpretation of contract clauses.
