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.
Those who are involved in international contracts in their company or institution.
