This is an intensive and practical day-long seminar/ workshop which provides training and “hands-on” experience. Learn-by-doing training will include comprehensive analysis of representative contracts for the acquisition of consultant/ professional services, equipment, facilities, and products as well as exercises in drafting clauses and negotiating agreements.

This seminar is intended for those who already understand the basic principles of contract review and drafting and wish to take their contracting skills to an advanced level. The goal is to have attendees master skills related to analyzing, negotiating and drafting the “moving parts” of more complicated business agreements. Attendees will also learn how to improve their ability to anticipate and effectively address the more complex aspects of their business contracts.

A minimum of two years’ prior experience in reviewing and negotiating contracts is highly recommended.

In this seminar, Leslie Marell will be offering more advanced guidance beyond her discussions of legal concepts and representative clauses in the course “Contracts: Reading, Writing & Negotiating”. 

YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:
- Coordinate and Negotiate the Warranty, Limitations of Liability and Indemnity clauses
- Get better input – and more help -- from your internal stakeholders
- Ensure that the contract reflects the agreed upon deal
- Understand and Negotiate complex clauses
- Take a more global approach to contracts
- Learn how to “sell” your contract to Management/ and Legal
- Gain more confidence in the contracting process
- Take your contracting skills to a more advanced level
