Training Overview

Training Overview

Every commercial transaction involves risk, but your organization can manage this risk by clearly defining, within the contract, the terms, scope, and consequences of both your actions and the other party’s. Contracts create various liabilities by establishing rights, responsibilities, duties, and obligations, all of which can be controlled through effective contractual terms.

This Managing Contractual Liabilities training course explores how your organization can identify and address key contractual risks and liabilities—understanding what they are, their significance, the potential consequences, who assumes the risk, and who bears the financial impact.
