Top 5 negotiated clauses in commercial contract – giving yourself the advantage



ABOUT THIS EVENT 

This forum explores the five most heavily negotiated clauses when it comes to reaching agreement in contracts.  

The forum is led by Scott Alden, a Holding Redlich Partner who is recognised for his expertise in water, social housing, ports and transport, government, and information technology.  

Scott’s extensive experience has allowed him to identify the five clauses that are essential for those who create or manage commercial contracts.

The five clauses that will be explored are:

1. Limitation of Liability
2. Indemnities
3. Contract Securities 
4. Consequential Loss
5. Intellectual Property

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

If you are a public sector legal advisor or you have a professional interest in public sector contracts, this event will build your understanding of these significant issues and give you the competitive edge.

At least 25% of this event is allocated to questions from the floor, meaning that you will have the opportunity to raise issues of general or specific concern.

SPONSOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
