overview
Join Terry Reid, at the Contract Law Breakfast Briefing to learn about the recent trends in risk allocation in contracts. As economic pressure builds contractual rights become crucial. Businesses need to be able to rely on their agreements and be able to enforce them if required.
Contractual rights arise as a matter of agreement but are also easily modified or removed by agreement. When reviewing contract terms, businesses need to be able to understand when they are agreeing to remove fundamental rights and how to protect themselves in the future.
Breakfast Briefing Agenda
08.30 – 09.30 | Breakfast & Networking
09.30 – 10.30 | Presentation by Terry Reid
- How rights exist in contracts and an understanding of these rights is crucial for economic certainty. These rights are often modified in contracts by including clauses such as ‘exclusive remedy” provisions. These clauses should be the focus of analysis and their impact determined prior to the formation of the contract.
- Recent cases are examined to determine the impact of risk allocation clauses in contracts. The Courts highlight what parties may be giving up in their agreements. Businesses need to manage the risk allocation with great care and know how they can preserve the rights and ensure the contract results in their commercial objectives being met and economic certainty.
10.30 – 10.45 | Q & A
