ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

This course is designed to aid business owners and managers in approaching contracts that are the lifeblood of business.

Contracts are often long, complex, and filled with both critical terms and boilerplate clauses. The class teaches a method of approaching contracts that increases understanding and confidence in contract execution. It also instructs how business owners can better communicate their positions with their attorneys in contract formation and business relationships.

Starts in 4 months!

LEARN HOW TO:

1. The participants will understand the core parts of a contract and their purposes.

2. The participants will be able to better comprehend a contract, evaluate the contract, and compare and contrast key terms of a contract to understand their obligations.

3. The participants will be able to design comprehensive exit strategies needed for unanticipated events during the course of a contract.

4. The participants will be better able to analyze the contractual terms, and communicate their terms and concerns better to their professional partners (lawyers, accountants, and insurers).

5. The participants will be able to judge potential risks found in contracts, and evaluate the cost-benefit analysis of proceeding with, or terminating, contractual obligations.
