In addition to reviewing these systematic and fundamental aspects, we explore how contract law offers the parties many options which allow their mutual obligations to be interpreted strictly or broadly. This workshop will enable you to understand how contract interpretation works and acquire reflexes to avoid the factual and legal pitfalls when dealing with contracts by presenting a broad range of options for contract negotiation and determination of the obligations under your contracts.This workshop will develop the following themes:

 1. Approaching contracts

  • Parties’ identity
  • Capacity to contract
  • Financial resources
• Pre-contractual documents
  • Confidentiality agreements
  • Guidelines establishing the relationship between the parties 

2. The Negociation Phase

• Anticipating blocking and non-blocking issues
• Anticipating ways out of a crisis 

3. Drafting Contracts

• Identifying objectives
• Identifying essential contractual clauses
  • Basic agreement and guarantees
