Focus: Contract drafting, structure, interpretation, and formation, plus precise clause drafting to manage legal risk
In today's fast-moving commercial landscape, the ability to draft, structure, and interpret contracts with clarity and precision is a critical skill. Whether negotiating multi-million-pound deals or managing day-to-day contracts, small errors or ambiguities can result in costly disputes, reputational harm, and lost opportunities, and unclear agreements are one of the largest causes of costly commercial litigation.
The two-day, modular workshop builds section by section. Part One, Drafting, Structure, Interpretation and Formation of Contracts, covers the theory and practice that underpins drafting, including contract interpretation, how contracts are formed, format and structure, implied, express, and standard terms, and the use of "shall," "will," endeavours, warranties, undertakings, and representations. Part Two, Precise and Careful Drafting, examines exclusion and limitation clauses, boilerplate, transferring contractual rights and obligations, payment remedy clauses, interest, and entire agreement, governing law, jurisdiction, and dispute resolution clauses. The trainer uses a balanced mix of theory, group exercises, discussion, sample clauses, and case studies. The course carries 12 CPD hours.
