Product Information

Contracts form the backbone of business relationships, yet many professionals work with them without fully understanding their legal impact. This session introduces the law of contract in clear, practical language, without legal jargon or unnecessary theory. Delegates will learn what makes a contract valid, how agreements are formed, and why unclear or poorly drafted contracts lead to disputes. The session focuses on everyday business situations, helping professionals recognise risks before problems arise. It also explains how contracts are enforced and what happens when one party fails to meet their obligations. By the end of the session, delegates will be better equipped to work with contracts confidently, protect their clients and organisations, and know when to seek legal input.
