Business Contracts in English

This seminar is intended to provide a better understanding of the basics of the modern application of so-called ‘boilerplate clauses’. It is based on numerous case studies, from business life, that provide the highest degree of ‘hands-on’ experience in linguistic usage. It starts with an analysis of the basic steps in contract design and discusses the different types of boilerplates applied. Participants will receive ‘sample boilerplates’ during the seminar.

Target group:

Entrepreneurs, managers, employees dealing with
international contracts.
