About this course and what the programme includes

An intensive four sessions on how to draft contracts.

This course gives insight into commercial agreements and specifically those agreements as set out under ‘outline/ content of the course’. The legislative requirements and challenges pertaining to these specific agreements will be discussed, as well as dealing with the complicated foundation that must be taken into regard when dealing with contracts such as these.
This is not a ‘Drafting of Contracts’ course, but more of an academic approach to what must be considered when
drafting such agreements correctly. Attention will also be given to the relevant legislation and case precedents forming the basis for these agreements, and the required content of such agreements to render them valid and enforceable. Drafting guidelines will, however, be presented for setting up these specific contracts.
