Contract Law Course for Non-Lawyers: Writing & Negotiation
Contract Drafting Course: A Training in Contract Preparation Best Practices a combination of 2 essential skills necessary to achieve the best commercial results in establishing contractual relationships:
Negotiation skills to effectively navigate difficult topics & conflicting interests/priorities
Clear communication skills to produce a clear & precise contract that minimises confusion & disputes
About the Course
Negotiation and preparation and holding one accountable to a contract are the means by which businesses achieve their objectives. Two key ingredients to successful contract management are the negotiation of terms and conditions to match business outcomes and a robust, well-devised contract design process. This training provides an opportunity to learn how.
The course will assist contract managers to refer to and understand a contract that they may not have designed or negotiated, to determine the applicable conditions and their negotiating position.
Contract writing and negotiation for non-lawyers training will also illustrate how to make contracts relevant to the active management of the relationship between the principal and the contractor. This is applicable when needing to vary things such as price and deliverables, or proposing change when exercising options of extension.
You will learn how to combat tactics and tricks that are designed to unnerve you when negotiating terms, conditions, extensions and performance outcomes. Even if, as a contract manager you do not draft the contract documents, your input/briefing to the drafting team/legal staff is valuable and will be improved after this course.
Who Will Benefit
Second in our contract management CMP series, contract writing and negotiation for non-lawyers training is relevant for those involved with the administration or management of contracts, developing, drafting or negotiating contract terms and conditions or evaluating contracts in any industry sector. Knowledge of contract administration fundamentals is advisable, along with an understanding of contract law.
Key Learning Objectives
- Learn how to write a contract while considering important elements, such as operational factors, risks and the cost/performance balance
- Develop a process to capture lessons learnt from previous contracts to apply now
- Interpret a contract that you may not have designed to determine what applies to your contracts and your negotiating position
- Ensure the contract design accurately reflects what is being procured and supports ongoing issues during the term
- Foresee the active management of the principal-contractor relationships when varying aspects like price, deliverables and extensions
- Understand the use or amendment of standard form contracts and contract schedules
- Modify and create clauses in clear, plain English that cannot be misinterpreted
- Understand ways to build and manage your bargaining power
