Dublin, Feb. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "3-Day Drafting Commercial Contracts" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Negotiate and draft clear and concise commercial agreements that meet the challenges of today's commercial environment

Business is founded on the crystallisation of the terms of a deal and clarity and fair construction are the key to a successful commercial agreement. Without a clear agreement, commercial and legal disputes are likely and unclear agreements are one of the largest causes of costly commercial litigation.

With this in mind, this comprehensive multi-part programme focuses on delivering practical and applied training of the key drafting skills needed to create transparent and direct contracts that deliver on a legal and commercial level. Each section of the course builds on the section before.

Part One: Drafting, Structure, Interpretation and Formation of Contracts focuses on developing a robust structure and formation to your contracts and expanding your drafting skills to deliver concise and watertight agreements. It will also explain the fundamentals of how contracts are interpreted.

Part Two: Precise and Careful Drafting looks in more detail at the more complex clauses and how they can be drafted and applied to leverage commercial value and manage legal risk.

By attending this programme you will:

• Examine assignment and novation to ensure you are suitably protected in the case of transfer or sale of rights
• Consider the purpose and effect of typical boilerplate clauses and how you can leverage value for your organisation through clearer drafting
• Get-to-grips with payments and interest terms to understand how penalties can be applied
• Expand your knowledge of the risk of drafting a contract without a confidentiality clause
• Understand the risks that can be created through poor drafting in practical exercises under the guidance of the expert
