PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

The law and regulations governing business and contract law are increasingly complex and they now aff ect all industries and every type of commercial agreement from bankruptcy and intellectual property rights to the purchase and sale of securities. Therefore, it is important for parties involved in contracting to have a good grasp of the essentials of contractlaw so that companies can meet their business objectives. To achieve this, the terms and conditions stated in the contract must match business outcomes and a robust and well-designed contractual process must be put in place.

Driven by Singapore-specifi c case studies, this two-day program aims to give non-lawyers a thorough understanding of business contracts - from the pre-conceptual phase to what legally constitutes an off er and acceptance to the discharge of a contract by performance, agreement or breach.

Apart from contract terms and their interpretations, you will also learn about mistakes in contract law,misrepresentations and illegality in contracts and their impact on the contract. This program will also expose youto the Frustrated Contracts Acts, the interpretation of a “Force Majeure” clause as well as the impact of liquidation and judicial management on the company and bankruptcy on the individual parties in the contract. In addition, youwill also learn about the available remedies for situations surrounding defective contracts and breaches of contract.

Designed for non-lawyers dealing with the management of commercial contracts, this program will enable participants - even those without prior legal knowledge - to leave this course with the confi dence and expertise to deal with contractual situations eff ectively.
