Contract Law for Managers & Non-Legal Professionals

Categories: ,

Description

Almost daily, we all make contracts. Ignorance is not a privilege; it is a misfortune.

Managers, Company Directors, Executives, and Businessmen need a clear understanding of contract law and leadership in interpreting these agreements. Learn how to interpret contractual clauses and what the terms and conditions truly mean. Participants will explore how to make a valid contract—whether oral or written—and how a contract may be discharged by novation, performance, or frustration, as well as how to terminate a contract effectively. Gain a thorough understanding of contract law principles through this interactive course taught by Prof Catherine Tay, a well-known author of several law books, including the bestseller “Contract Law”.

No legal background is necessary to attend this course. Designed for non-lawyers, this course will equip you with the skills to spot early signs of potential issues, seek timely legal advice, and fully understand contract terms. We operate our businesses within a legal framework, and leadership in contract management requires an awareness of this environment to make sound agreements.

This course is conducted by the Marketing Institute of Singapore. It is not HRDC / HRDF Claimable.
