About this course

The course is designed for lawyers and commercial managers who have at least two years’ experience of drafting and negotiating contracts, and who wish to increase their technical understanding of legal clauses.
This course considers the legal and commercial context of the clauses and discusses how to draft them - the focus is on technical skills and not on commercial positions.
