Commercial Risk, Contract Law and Contract Drafting
For engineers in charge of projects: the IMechE leading 2-day contract law course.
Course overview
No engineer can ignore the law regulating contractual relationships with clients, suppliers and partner organisations. Technical risks may be under control but a project can still expose an organisation to commercial or contract risk. Drafting appropriate engineering contracts is a skill that will minimize commercial and legal liabilities. This two-day training has been designed specifically to make Engineers think in a commercial and legal way when they manage projects or prepare bids.
What you will learn:
- See your role in a commercial context
- Understand the special features of engineering sector contracts
- Use standard contract forms including MF/1
- Identify the benefits of time spent at the front end, pre-contract award, on drafting and negotiating a solid contract in order to reduce problems later, during contract management stage
- Appreciate strict liability for delay and excusable delay and the risk of damages
- Anticipate, identify and manage potential risks, both pre- and post-contract award
- Understand the relevance of the Sale of Goods Act 1979, The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, and the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 to all engineering projects
