This Masterclass is limited to 20 Delegates - Book Now to Guarantee your Place

Introduction

This in-person seminar examines the standard clauses in commercial contracts that are usually ignored (or at least not understood) by many and shows how they can be used to leverage commercial advantage both in a negotiation and also within the lifespan of a contract.
