Contract Law Update - the latest case law in practice In-house Training

Course overview

Keeping pace with the latest developments in commercial contract law is essential for anyone responsible for drafting, negotiating, reviewing or managing business agreements. Recent court decisions have provided important guidance on key areas such as contract formation, interpretation, implied terms, good faith, limitation of liability, damages, force majeure and contractual remedies, all of which can have a significant impact on commercial outcomes and risk allocation.

This highly practical and interactive training course examines the most important contract law developments and case law trends affecting commercial contracts today. Through expert analysis and practical examples, delegates will gain a clear understanding of how the courts are approaching common contractual issues and what this means when drafting, negotiating and managing agreements. Particular attention will be given to the lessons that can be learned from recent cases and how these can be applied to strengthen contracts and avoid costly disputes.

The programme covers the full contract lifecycle, from formation and incorporation of terms through to performance, breach, termination and remedies. It will explore current thinking on contract interpretation, implied terms, good faith obligations, guarantees and indemnities, reasonable endeavours, limitation of liability clauses and the effectiveness of boilerplate provisions. The course will also consider emerging issues, including the legal implications of smart contracts and contracting through automated technologies.
