Mastering Legal Negotiation & Contract Management Training Courses


Managing Contractual Liabilities Issues and Risk Course

Introduction:

Every commercial transaction carries inherent risks. Your organization can tactically manage these through contractual management, which entails determining the nature, content, and consequences of both your own and the other party's actions and omissions.

Well-designed contracts outline a range of liabilities, assigning rights, responsibilities, and obligations to each party involved. Thus, they form the nucleus of contractual management. These liabilities can be efficiently monitored and controlled through various contractual mechanisms, mitigating contractual risk in project management.
