Why Choose this Training Course?
Every commercial transaction carries risk: your organisation can manage risk by contractually determining the nature, content and consequences of both yours and the other party’s actions and omissions. Contracts give rise to a range of liabilities by parties assuming rights, responsibilities, duties and obligations, but which can be managed through contractual mechanisms.
This highly interactive Managing Contractual Liabilities training course in Dubai considers how your organisation can identify and manage key contractual risks and liabilities – what are they, what do they mean, what are the consequences, who takes the risk, and who pays?
