Introduction
Course overview
Well-drafted contracts prevent disputes by setting clear obligations, allocating risk and providing workable mechanisms for change. Poorly drafted terms create ambiguity, cost and conflict.
This Aractech course develops practical skills in structuring and drafting commercial contracts, writing clear obligations, definitions, payment and performance terms, liability and indemnities, termination and dispute clauses, and systematically reviewing contracts for risk. Participants draft and review clauses in workshops.
