Legal Skills: Contract Law: Introduction

Product Description

Are you responsible for managing delivery of a Project? Do you read or deal with contracts in your role as a Project Manager? Are you unsure of the exact meaning of some of the words in the contracts generated by your projects?

Are you worried about avoiding the pitfalls related to the creation & management of a contract
- like knowing when & whether you have a binding contract, & understanding the extent of your liability under a contract?

Do you want to learn the basics of contract law in plain, everyday language?

If the answer is "YES"
- this is the course for you!

Many projects start before proper authorisation is granted, through the creation & signing of legally binding Contracts.

" Contracts" often constitute no more than a Supplier's Terms & Conditions, which are designed to protect the Supplier, at the expense of the Customer. As a result there is often no clear, unambiguous statement of what is expected of each Party, what products the Project will deliver, nor any defined criteria of what will constitute proper delivery of such products. Customers & Suppliers are thereby exposed to the risk of costly litigation, as a result of a failure to deliver as expected by the other Party. When there is a failure to supply what is expected, the legal position of parties is unclear.
