Contract Management: Guide to read and understand contracts.
Buy it, contact us by e-mail and get it as a pdf-file (presentation can be downloaded as PowerPoint)
This "Guide" is intended to be used as a "manual" when drafting or screening contracts and to help you discuss and negotiate them.
It explains the contract content and the particulars in every clause of a comprehensive example contract. The guide explains the contract and there is a short presentation giving a short introduction to Contract Management.
Part of the example contract can be used as a template to form part of your own contract. This means that out of the example contract, it is possible to pick relevant parts and modify them for your specific contract. Even if it is easy to copy, it is good practice to make sure that a final contract does not include more than necessary to cover its subject matter. Don't add anything just "to be sure" or by thinking "it may not harm" since that is probably what it will do. Just use what is needed and consult with your legal expertise before sending or presenting any draft to your counterpart.
The headings under which the clauses are discussed are:
- Objectives and Considerations
- Watch out for
- Risks and Contractual Mitigations
- Further Comments
The table has links to the example contract for easy orientation and use. It will help less contract experienced persons to understand what is in the "contract language" and also why it is there.
For Companies having this easy-to-use guide provided to its contract responsible staff, mail us and we will arrange something and offer you the 3 parts as files and if you wish, also combined with a personal introduction and Contract Management training.
