Course Description
Contractual mistakes cost organisations countless thousands, even millions of dollars. In the engineering environment, the role of contract reviewer, manager or even drafter is often fulfilled by an engineer who has little or no legal training. If your role involves managing, reviewing or entering into contracts, a proper understanding of contract law is an essential part of your risk mitigation.
Project Victor’s Contract Management for Non-Lawyers will give you the practical tools and understanding to mitigate contractual risks, effectively draft content and lock-in contracts that promote best outcomes for your company. In this two day workshop you will learn how contracts are entered into, what happens when they are breached, and how each party can protect its own interests while promoting the aims of the project.

Key Features of Contract Management for Non-Lawyers
Common and Civil Law Approach
This workshop is presented in Thailand, which takes a civil law approach to contracting. However, the organisers recognise that delegates may come from, or be working in other countries in the region, where a common law approach is followed. The workshop will therefore cover both common law and civil law principles.
