The courts continue to see a steady stream of contract law disputes ranging from contract formation to the interpretation of exclusion and limitation clauses.

This live online two hour contract course is the ideal way to keep up to date with the latest developments in law, practice and tactics, focusing on a carefully selected range of important topical issues and perennial problem areas. It contains a series of interactive exercises which enable delegates to understand all the recent developments and to apply this knowledge in a practical way.

Prices: £190 + VAT for the first delegate. This is a per organisation price, so up to 10 of your colleagues from the same organisation can participate at no extra charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location or at a different time. So for example, if there are 10 of you the cost per delegate would be just £19.00 each.

For smaller firms with 4 or less partners, the price is £99 + VAT, which is for a single place with no additional free places

All those attending will receive a video recording of the course shortly after it takes place. You can participate in the course live or watch the recorded version whenever or wherever you want. In each case you will receive a recording of the complete course after the event.

We will be analysing a number of recent cases and suggest a series of practical steps to be taken in response to the issues raised. The course will be delivered in a succinct fashion by a highly experienced presenter, Keith Markham, and delegates will leave the session better informed and equipped to deal with the complexities of contract law.
