As the business world gets more complex, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations coupled with long-term relationships with all parties is extremely critical. Contracts are now considered vital as they not only instill high levels of confidence in the organisation one deals with but also save the time and effort one might face in dealing with unpredictable concerns and arguments. Understanding of the different legal systems and practices in place in the Middle East is crucial as the main barrier would be utilising and understanding the right English terms to use in drafting out a contract. Gaining insights into contract issues by identifying correct contract clauses, terms and conditions will ensure there is no fear of the repercussions of incorporating wrong terms or conditions. Properly drafted and well managed contracts are a pre-requisite for all successful business interactions, more so in a challenging business environment like the Middle East. This unique training course, led by an internationally renowned dispute resolution expert, will explore all types of contract drafting and negotiation at the strategy, business and technology levels using a variety of theoretical and practical exercises. In addition, case studies regionally and internationally will also be illustrated. This training will equip participants with the necessary knowledge and tools to utilise new and existing resources to effectively decipher, draft and negotiate contracts on a global scale.
