Whether you deal with contracts every day or only occasionally during the current infrastructure boom, understanding the fundamentals can save time, reduce risk, and empower you to make better decisions. Join us for an informative and practical training session that breaks down the core elements of contracting in a clear and accessible way.

We’ll cover:

• Contract 101: What a contract really is, the different forms it can take, and how contracts are legally formed.
• Key Contract Terms: Learn the difference between representations, warranties, conditions, essential terms and why they matter.
• Risk Allocation: Get clarity on liabilities, indemnities, consequential loss, proportionate liability, and how these shape your organisation’s risk profile.
• Managing Disagreements: Understand how to address discrepancies, resolve ambiguities, and navigate dispute resolution pathways.
• Typical Provisions Explained: From SOPA and modern slavery clauses to step‑in rights and intellectual property—learn what these common provisions mean in practice.

This session is designed to boost your confidence, strengthen your contract literacy, and help you spot issues before they become problems. Perfect for anyone involved in procurement, project management, governance, or stakeholder engagement.
